Typography Tuesday

Specimen of Type Faces Monotype Linotype was produced ca. 1930 to display the range of typefaces used at the American Typesetting Corporation of Chicago, "the largest of its kind in the world," established in 1919. The plant operated 24 hours a day, offering day and night services. Their Monotype Department boasted ten keyboards and twelve casters, and their Linotype Department operated ten machines. The typefaces shown here are Goudy Old Style, Cloister Text (a Gothic face, not the Roman Cloister designed by Benton), Typewriter, Monotype Accents, and Copperplate Gothic.

Working on handwriting as well as other doodles.

Idk about you guys but watching The Terror has made me try to work on my baseline more lmao it’s crazy seeing letters and other stuff with perfect baselines… I mean usually I write on lined paper but it looks way better on blank paper.

as well as I just learned how small the writing is on the Victory Point Note… I mean whoah.

September 11

On this anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, we present some original etchings and poems by Michael Kuch from the 2002 Falling to Earth, a letterpress artist's book issued in Northampton, Massachusetts by Kuch's Double Elephant Press in an edition of 110 copies. The book is a reaction to the terrifying and tragic collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and the ensuing bombing campaign by the United States. Kuch responds with fourteen poems and twenty-one intaglios. The book's imagery uses the metaphor of falling to examine the human and spiritual costs of violence. Mythological and biblical narratives are evoked in a modern framework to provide perspective on the then raw and recent events. Using the metaphor of falling to evoke the human and spiritual costs of violence, the volume is also frequented by angels, giving a vantage from above.

The copper-plate etchings were printed by Michael Kuch and by Arthur Larson under the artist's tutelage, with Larson printing the text. David Wolfe of Wolfe Editions cast and set the fourteen point Emerson type. The paper is an abaca & cotton blend handmade for this project by Shannon Brock at Carriage House Paper in Brooklyn, New York. A prototype of the binding (below) was constructed by Shoshannah Wineburg and carried out by Barry Spence for this edition. Our copy is another gift from the estate of our friend Dennis Bayuzick.
