Letterpress Love






I am quite fond of letterpress and woodtype. It's like the best of both worlds, handmade and digital. I'm in a printmaking class right now that consumes my entire life, and it's actually showed me that I enjoy it less than I thought. It's much more illustration heavy, and drawing is not my strong suit. I love how minimalistic and geometrical type is. Perhaps that's a cop out. 

Anyway, this font was originally a letterpress typeface. I'm working with it all semester in my Intermediate Type class. I'm also applying for an short internship over winter break at a wood type printshop, so I wanted to cater to that. This is digital, though. Don't get confused. This was printed by a printer, not with a press. 

SO I'M SHOWING YOU MY WORK! 

Gosh. That doesn't happen very often. :]

Ladeda.
