Word origin
The practice of typesetting dates back to the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century. Before the digital era, typesetting involved manually arranging metal type pieces to form text for printing. With the advent of computers and desktop publishing software, typesetting became more efficient and accessible to a wider audience.
