Editing Matthew Carter (section)

=== Enschedé ===
Through his father, Carter arranged to hold an internship at the [[Joh. Enschedé]] type foundry in the Netherlands for a year. An extremely long-lasting company with a long history of printing, Enschedé had a history of creating conservative but popular book typefaces. Carter studied manual [[punchcutting]], the method used to make moulds used to cast [[metal type]], under P. H. Rädisch. Punchcutting was a traditional artisanal approach in decline many years before the 1950s. Carter is one of the last people in Europe formally trained in the technique as a living practice.

Carter enjoyed the experience, and decided to move directly into a career in graphic design and printing.
