In order to contribute to a better assignment of such facts, researchers inquired some members of the graphic industry in Caruaru, promoting interviews and scouring documents to enrich the few existing reports on the subject. The cast of important remaining characters in local typography; the record of their speeches; some findings that corroborated the longevity of the printers on the countryside of Pernambuco; the discovery of inconsistencies on the prominent work of the illustrious Professor Luiz do Nascimento (1994); and, above all, some notes on opportunities for local design to persevere on typography and expand their working field are some of the main contributions of this work.</p> ER -
