The University of Reading Women in Type project is uncovering the extensive contributions of women to type history. "It is frequently assumed that typefaces are the work of a single designer whereas, as most industrial objects, they result from a series of processes involving multiple skills often carried out by numerous people". One such person was Dora Laing ( job title: Draughtswoman/Type Design) who, like many other female employees at Monotype, played a significant role in the collaborative design process.
