This is the so-called Western monotype, but in Japan there is a machine called the Japanese monotype that casts and sets Japanese characters, but it is sometimes simply called monotype. Both types can produce typeset plates more efficiently than hand-typesetting, where each character is picked up and set, and are important in mechanizing the typesetting process, but the automation of typesetting is gradually shifting to computerized typesetting. ...
