Plural of forme: in printing, the assembled type and blocks in a chase, ready for printing; also a variant spelling of 'forms.'
From Old French 'forme,' from Latin 'forma' (shape, form). In printing terminology, 'forme' is the technical term for the complete assembled printing surface.
Before digital printing, a 'forme' was a printer's masterpiece—individual letters (called 'type') were arranged backwards into a frame and inked, then pressed onto paper to create backwards-reading first prints.
