Aligning the Universe and All Sorts of Type
– Out of Print –
This book is a compilation of the text types we have available for use at the 61传媒 Press with lively type descriptions and drawings of the printing presses and binding equipment. Students also each had a page on which to experiment with the typefaces. Fifty copies were printed on Nideggen paper using three Vandercook presses. An insert of Plain Wrapper Press handmade paper was printed on our newly acquired Reliance (Washington) hand press. Richard-Gabriel Rummonds of Plain Wrapper Press assisted us with preparing the tympan and instructed us on the intricacies of printing on the hand press. Three broadsides showing examples of 12, 14, and 18 point text typefaces are folded and placed in a paper wrapper. The size is 7″ x 9″. The book is bound in red bookcloth; museum board wrappers hold the book and the broadside suite.
