Photoscript Ltd was a pioneering British company in the field of phototypesetting, specializing in innovative display typefaces during the mid-20th century transition from metal type to photographic methods. Founded in 1963 by Robert Norton in London, UK, it played a key role in advancing graphic design tools amid the analog-to-digital shift in printing technology. The company focused on creating high-contrast, expressive fonts suitable for advertising, editorial, and promotional materials, often emphasizing bold, decorative styles that captured the vibrant aesthetics of the 1960s and 1970s.
