Edward Rondthaler (June 9, 1905 – August 19, 2009) was a typographer as well as a simplified spelling champion and chairman of the American Literacy Council. He was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. A longtime resident of the village of Croton-on-Hudson, New York, Rondthaler became a centenarian in 2005. ==Early life== Rondthaler received his first small printing press at the age of 5, thus starting his career in the graphic arts. Working in New York in the 1930s, he associated with Harold Horman of the Rutherford Machinery Co. Together they adapted a step-and-repeat machine (for texture and metal printing) for photographic lettering, and in 1936 founded Photo Lettering Inc. In 1969, Rondthaler associated with Aaron Burns and Herb Lubalin in founding the International Typeface Corporation. For several decades, ITC furnished manufacturers of photographic, electronic and laser equipment, a plethora of superb typefaces. In later life, Rondthaler became interested in promoting the spelling reform of the English language as a means of fighting illiteracy. He was also an avid historian.
