Did you find a stash of old Letraset sheets from the '70s and '80s?
I also have more than 500 original sheets of different fonts, logos design,etc. Fun  |

Ahh - the 80's - I also have a box of the stuff. Good idea, but I find most of it is brittle and lost any adhesive quality : (
Any thoughts on how to rejuvenate it? For a price your can have chromatecs made from your artwork - $$$.

Depending on the plastic sheet holding the letters (I find that the big fonts are generally more brittle than the small ones). My Father's advice was always to keep your sheets of Letraset in the dark and in a moderate humid place (too dry and too hot is not good for those).
So far, it works |

Well, they definitely have been kept in the dark, and it's generally humid here most of the year. I'll have to test a few more, but they are 30 years old . . .
Thanks again. - R13

| Yes, what about that "Vetica Med"? is it a re-printing of old fonts on Letraset? |

I am pretty sure it was commented on a long time ago by Kevin, and a couple others. Sorry to steal your discovery from you. Since you did figure it out on your own I think you deserve a hand for your detective work though. It is fun figuring the origins out, even if it is somewhat old news, because you still get the thrill of discovery. Keep it up, there is still a lot to be found as yet.
