In Art College way back we learned to set metal type so... 😁

[Metal type is set upside down, probably backwards, too.
(Hey, it's been 50 yrs! 😉 ) ]

I had a similar experience. In the 70s I had a job where one of my duties was hand engraving brass plates for awards. I remember learning to assemble the tiny metal letters.

Perhaps this will work on a smartphone.

Aha! 😄 Thanks!

Wow, hand engraving plaques. You mean the designs, and borders as well as handling the type?

Did engraving on zinc plates in Art College. 👍

Just three rows of type etched on precut plates for the base of a trophy. I worked for a film festival.
