Lead type is an alloy of lead with tin and antimony (Sb), which is relatively cheaper to recycle/purchase than pure lead
Lead movable type, also known as movable type alloy or metal movable type, is characterized by its hardness and easy melting. It is used for casting and printing movable types and printing plates. When this alloy solidifies, its volume slightly expands, making the printed handwriting and lines clear.
