In the late 19th century a growing sentiment emerged frowning on the usage of print and advertising lettering styles on memorials, as largely a classless practice. This trend continued largely until the mid 1970s, when typefaces created for the print industry, such as Helvetica and Univers were introduced into the monument industry through plastic stencil press letters. By the early 1920s, the monument industry began to create physical metal alphabets for reproducing monument-specific lettering styles by means of sandblasting prior to this time most lettering was drawn and carved by hand, taking notes from printed materials both inside and outside of the monument industry.
