In a manual printing (letterpress) house "textual style" would allude to a total arrangement of metal sort that would be utilized to typeset a whole page. Upper-and lowercase letters get their names in light of which case the metal sort was situated in for manual typesetting: the more far off capitalized or the nearer lower case. A similar qualification is likewise alluded to with the terms majuscule and microscopic.

In contrast to an advanced typeface, a metal textual style would exclude a solitary meaning of each character, yet usually utilized characters (like vowels and periods) would have more actual sort pieces included. A text style when purchased new would regularly be sold concerning (model in a Roman letter set) 12pt 14A 34a, implying that it would be a size 12-point text style containing 14 capitalized "A"s, and 34 lowercase "A"s.

The remainder of the characters would be given in amounts suitable to the appropriation of letters in that language. Some metal sort characters needed in typesetting, like runs, spaces and line-tallness spacers, were not piece of a particular text style, but rather were conventional pieces which could be utilized with any font.[2] Line dividing is still regularly called "driving", on the grounds that the strips utilized for line dispersing were made of lead (instead of the harder compound utilized for different pieces). This separating strip was produced using lead since lead was a gentler metal than the conventional manufactured metal sort pieces (which was part lead, antimony and tin) and would pack all the more effectively when "secured" in the printing "pursue" (for example a transporter for holding all the kind together).

During the 1880s–1890s, "hot lead" typesetting was concocted, in which type was given a role as it was set, either piece by piece (as in the Monotype innovation) or in whole lines of type at one time (as in the Linotype innovation).
