Guido Kühn, a design professor, caricaturist and avid manual typesetter,
recently bought an old, empty cabinet for lead fonts. In that, he found
a leftover piece of chemistry typesetting, made out of Berthold
chemistry letters – nowadays exceptionally rare, since they were smelt
down even earlier than other lead type.
