Type design was liberated in the 1950s, with the birth of phototypesetting.

The evolution signalled the end of the limitations of traditional physical lead or metal type handling - allowing designers to shake off the restraints of unyielding metal letters and their standard lead sizes. Type could be any size, with any spacing leading to a rush of new creative opportunities.

This was a golden era, it was full of energy as designers revelled in the freedom brought by new technology.

A new design aesthetic emerged, super-tight kerning, overlapping serifs and carefully refined letter interactions became commonplace throughout the following decades. This warm, free, distinct feeling gave us the core from which Denton is built.​
