Display matrices : advert issued by Lanston Monotype Corporation, London, 1930

            From the June 1930 Commercial Art magazine an advert for the Monotype range of typefaces, available for hiring. It shows Braggadocio, Blado, Colonna, Poliphilus, Cochin, Cochin Italic, Bodoni Heavy, Gill Sans Bold, Gill Sans lowercase and the futuristic Ashley Crawford typeface. 

Of these the Gill Sans was a relatively new typeface and those mentioned here were issued as part of a growing family of this Sans designed by Eric Gill. The Ashley-Crawford was designed by Ashley Havendin (1903 - 1973), an influential graphic designer who for many years was associated with the agency W S Crawford, and this lettering was initially seen as part of a Chrysler car advert series from c1925 onwards before being picked up by Monotype and issued as a commercial typeface,
