I hated handset, and learned what the saying "Mind your 'p's and 'q's" meant when I dropped a California job box. But, I fell in love with the Linotype and spent many hours setting type for wedding invitations and specialty brochures. It's a shame that today's graphic design students have no practical knowledge of the meaning behind terms like "font," "leading," and "lowercase."
