Your grandmother was a typesetter, not a typographer. The former lays out type on a page, the latter designs the typefaces themselves.

She called herself a typographer and a layout artist -- she had a qualification in typography and set the title font used for an obscure newspaper, the Antiques Trade Gazette, where she worked for many years. Although she's dead, I'd use the term that she did for describing her own job!

In my language (Danish) a typesetter is called a typograph (typograf) and they do typography according to WP:

this distinction may be related to computers putting typesetters out of the job, leaving just the font designers to claim the title “typographer” (just a hunch)
