Typography Tuesday

Here are some arrangements of printer's flowers, a few electrotype cuts, and a wood engraving from Printing from Metal and Wood, handprinted in 1985 by English type and printing enthusiast Mark Arman at his Workshop Press in Thaxted, Essex, in an edition of 145 copies signed by the author/printer. Arman writes:

The purpose of this book is to illustrate and use different type faces , to experiment with those of the 19th century which today would be unfashionable, and to re-create an interest in those wood blocks, fleurons and electros, which were in use at the turn of the century. It is a book concerned with styles of printing and design which are no longer popular, but it is a book which owes its very existence to the author's delight in printing, type, layout and design.

Our copy of this book is another donation from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick.

Tech help pages are so fucking annoying because you'll see someone post something like

"I've been playing this game for 10 years and suddenly this thing isn't working. I've gone through my system files, went back to college, graduated in IT, and held the owner of the gaming software company hostage but I still can't figure it out"

The replies:

"Have you tried using the thing that isn't working?"

"Try doing it on a different console."

"Download this program and it will fix everything!" *sketchy link*

Typography Tuesday

Fleurons or Printers' Flowers have been a prominent element of typographic tradition at least since the early 16th century, especially those of designer-punchcutter Robert Granjon. They became less used over the 17th century, but were revived in the mid-18th century when Pierre Simon Fournier introduced an entirely new style of printers' flowers. Soon after, their use enhanced as a fashion for classical typography changed the concept of type decoration at the end of the 18th century. The revival of fine typographic design in the late 19th century spurred a proliferation of new fleuron designs in the 20th century that has not abated to this day.

Fleurons may be combined in innumerable ways to create ornate and intricate typographic patterns. Today we show a few of those patterns from Fleurons, Their Place in History & in Print, written, designed, printed, and bound in 1988 by English type and printing enthusiast Mark Arman at his Workshop Press in Thaxted, Essex, in an edition of 170 copies signed by the author/printer. This book is another from the recent of from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick. Of printing fleurons, Arman writes:

. . . they can be grouped in a variety of combinations: elaborate arrangements are possible, and great enjoyment may be had exploring their possibilities. When I realised all this I began a collection of type decorations which, in the past seven years, has grown considerably. Part of the enjoyment has been finding specific designs. . . . All my 19th century decorations have come from old printing houses which have ceased to operate, or have gone over to litho, so they make a very mixed assortment. . . . [These] are illustrated in the following pages and the text gives a brief account of the craftsmen who created the design.
