Etymology

The word 'typesetter' originated in the late 19th century, derived from the combination of 'type' and 'setter.' The term 'type' comes from the Greek word 'typos,' which means 'impression' or 'mark.' 'Setter' refers to a person who places things in a specific arrangement. The profession gained prominence with the invention of movable type by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, revolutionizing printing. Before the digital age, typesetters worked with physical metal type pieces, meticulously arranging them into words and lines. With the rise of desktop publishing in the late 20th century, the role evolved, shifting towards digital typesetting. Today, typesetters are essential in graphic design, where they focus on typography and visual presentation for various media.
