Bill and Geri bought an old-fashioned, state of the art, type-making machine along with hundreds of patterns and type faces. The original patterns can be used to carve out font families in various sizes as long as they are smaller that the pattern. You would use these fonts on a letter press. I’m thinking we should do a Margaret Explosion 45 cover with some of these.
We helped Bill and Geri unload the type making machine that is hidden behind the boxes of patterns and type in the photo above. Nine of us gathered on Sunday afternoon as Bill pulled off a marvelous, madcap, engineering performance that ensured a graceful decent for the 800 pound, steel machine.
