"The effect of movement is made by shifting a typeset image on film horizontally and adjusting its focus. As lithography (offset) began to replace letterpress printing in the 1960s, phototypesetting - which by its nature suited the preparation of film for platemaking - began to compete with metal compositon" (Swiss Graphic Design, p. 227).
