Did you know that the Soviet Union made their own “Linotype” typesetting machine and called it the Neotype?

Did you know it was aggressively green?

No?

Well, here is a picture of it and I suggest you sign up for my Linotype Book Project newsletter because I have a great story to tell coming out next week: https://linotypebook.com/

A green Soviet typesetting machine that looks a whole lot like a Linotype Elektron machine but it is deep green instead of blue.

Linotype Book Project

After making “Linotype: The Film” over a decade ago, Doug Wilson is back with the Linotype Book Project to research and write a book which expands on the dramatic impact of the Linotype on journalism, communication, and all of society. Follow along by joining the members-only newsletter to get behind-the-scenes access while the book is being created.
