The Type Founders logo

Lanston Type Co. has roots back to the original Lanston Monotype Company of 1887, founded by Tolbert Lanston when he invented the Monotype casting machine. LTC went through mixed fortunes and was sold several times before Gerald Giampa eventually purchased it. In 2004, P22 Type Foundry acquired LTC. The historically important collection includes the classic designs of Frederic W. Goudy and Sol Hess, along with newer types by such contemporary masters as Jim Rimmer, Dave Farey, and Gerald Giampa.
