The small wooden type cabinet I got free over the summer has been redistributed and ID'd. Some fun faces like Parisian, Engravers Text and Greeting Monotone in there.

Did a typesetting demo for the Intermediate: Definition class, was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Ooooh, ahhhhhh!

Six centuries of type & printing arrived today. That's a lot of type & printing!

Finally got to distribute the two fonts of John Hancock Condensed 36pt I acquired a couple months back. Have a choice selection of letterforms.

Finally have the time and energy to get all that free type from the summer organized and labeled. One type cabinet done! And a good number of empty cases for needy type looking for a good home.

The Ludlow proof of concept is a roaring success. That's 500 business cards run 4-up on varying shades of Favini Crush. No jacking with tiny type, just plug-n-chug.
