Abstract

This article aims to analyze the use of the small print letter in notebooks of students in the initial phase of schooling. For this purpose, 379 student notebooks from 1937 to 2015 were consulted, kept in a Brazilian Memory Center. The methodology used was the historiographical operation as a researcher production that associates a place (social) with different analysis procedures (practices) and the construction of a writing. The analysis made it possible to perceive different denominations and the distinct presence of the letter press in the notebooks. First, in the period from 1949 to 1977 the name scritp and the interest in making it the official writing, and at that moment notebooks with the exclusive use of this type of font are located in the collection. Second, in the period from 1990 to 2015, when the small print letter appears again in the set of students' notebooks, but at this time it is only used in conjunction with other types of letters. These different moments around the small print letter in the school space are marked by different historical, pedagogical, political, social and economic debates that in a way contribute to a certain type of letter being established in a hegemonic way at school.
