The history of the the Roman lettering, transcribed from the Trajan Column in Rome, plays a large role in the development of calligraphy and lettering that occurred in early 20th century Britain and that involved scholars, calligraphers, artists and designers such as Edward Johnston, Eric Gill and his brother MacDonald Gill - as well as many who came after them. By the 1930s such was the acceptance of the lettering form based on this Roman example that the British Government department, the Ministry of Works, issued this lettering guide to be used as the basis for 'officlal' signwriting on buildings and structures owned and maintained by the Government. For many years the various signs and notices on ancient monuments and castles were based on this sheet. The use of the lettering appears to have been formalised in the late 1930s, this sheet being issued in May 1945, and the use of it seems to have been tailed off in the mid-1960s, at about the time there was a critical reaction to such typefaces and lettering. The use, or abuse, of a version of this MoW lettering to form the numerals that make up the "10" on the door of No. 10 Downing Street has been well documented elsewhere!

Raise your hand, Pandas who still have a notebook! (A handful of hands slowly come up.) Now, raise your hand if you write in that notebook! While we listen to the humming silence, I have to admit that in the past week, I scribbled out a single post-it note with my groceries list. The fact is obvious: typing has pretty much replaced the good, old and beautiful art of handwriting. (I am not looking at you, doctors!)
