Etymology
From type + form.
Meanings
-
(historical) The part of a printing press which holds the type, and against which the platen is pressed.
Once these important ingredients were ready, ink was spread over the raised letters of the typeform. The flat surface, called a platen, was then slowly lowered, pressing well-moistened paper against the relief surface.
