Types
Plastic letters attached to small, thick rectangular magnets have been manufactured since at least the 1960s, and marketed as an educational product for young children. In the 1990s, sets of small sheet magnets printed with individual words became popular; these sets are used to create magnetic poetry. Magnets may be attached to souvenir objects, or to practical objects such as hooks, notepads, etc.

—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
