Is the art of using pre-printed transfers, or dry transfers, of typefaces. Sheets that could be bought and used for making up posters or book covers and on LP's or in magazines.
Production was high between the 60's and 80's but has since ceased in the UK.
Process:
shade over the top of the transfer with a burnisher pen, lightly, on to a flat smooth surface.
Or apply by loosening the letter from the transfer with the transfer sheet held in the air, until the letter turns grey, then press the transfer onto the paper and rub over with fingers to stick. (pre release method)

Cursive round hand
Mid 17th Century France saw the introduction of 3 hand writting styles to be used in offical documents, after submitted letters and such were deemed unreadable in people's own natural hand writing. These three were called Rhonde, Coulee and Speed Hand.
In England it was developed by John Ayres and William Banson from Rhonde into what became known as round hand.
Later in the 17th and 18th century the popularity of Round Hand grew and it spread around Europe and to America. From this form it was developed into Snell Roundhand and Kuenstler Script.
