Ludlow We show just a very few of the over 700 Ludlow fonts we have for casting metal lines or as it is known in the industry Hot Type or Ludlow slugs. Great Hot Stamping Dies for Names or Monograms. Pres Set Lines of type read to drop in your machine and start printing. When you need just one line of 72pt type set or a entire job here this where to come. We have a lot of great faces so you can get that one large line (ie 72pt) you want to use with your 18 point hand set font and you don't have to buy the entire font of 72 pt type to complete your book binding, scrap book or letterpress printing job. This saves you money and opens the door for creativity in your designs. Leads and Slugs Leads and slugs are, strip of spacing material, made of type metal that are used for line spacing. We cast Leads and Slugs in several thicknesses ranging from 2 to 36 point. Those less than 6 points are called leads. Those from 6 to 18 point are called slugs. You can find more information about Leads and Slugs under the About Type section, toward the bottom of the page. We still can manufacture many of the hundreds of fonts we have produced over the past 90+ years; so, if you don't see what you are looking for please Contact Bell Type We hope you enjoy your time on this sight.
