Smirke’s 14 Broadsides:
the Buried : the Corruption : the Dark : the Desolation : the End : the Flesh : the Hunt : the Lonely : the Slaughter : the Spiral : the Stranger : the Vast : the Web : the Extinction
blue Stonehenge & Palatino for The Sick Village—
not going to lie, struggled a bit on this one! didn’t end up using any of the vertical typesetting i started with, for one thing, but that’s fine, it’s good for the ego probably. i had a more complicated idea that just wasn’t necessary, so it’s really very straightforward typesetting in the end, but the lockup was sort of a nightmare for some reason? and i will never get to know why i had to compensate 1/2 pt. in the leading of the right side to make them align properly. my math was GOOD >:(
But! i like it very much now, so worth even the time i didn’t use at my most efficient. stonehenge is SO nice to print on, im glad wedding season last year left me with a whole bunch of offcuts.
