➽ Recently, a customer contacted me inquiring about a note card I had posted on my Etsy shop. She wanted to know if I could reproduce this print on an American-size business card. With the Bodoni Semi-bold type in 10pt, it works perfectly. And, the silver ink on black paper looks beautiful.

These were pressed for the customer in a variety of ink colors, using various colors of paper. Overall, I’m really happy with the way these turned out, but I’m really thankful for the customer taking me in a printing direction that I previously hadn’t given much thought.

Most letterpress printers I know love them some wood type. This is my current obsession… Calendar Type. Made new at Virgin Wood Type, one of these sets is perfectly measured to be reset and printed for each month.

➽ Mixed some old wood type with some newer lead type. Really liking the plum colored ink on natural paper.

Thanks to The Center For Book Arts for donating the moveable type to make these necklaces. 

What a waste of perfectly good type. [sigh]
