After two days of photographing citizens of Newark, Delaware for the Histories of Newark: 1758-2008 eBay offered a nice diversion with some new letterpress things for the studio.

42 point Garamond Outline in foundry type. We’ve never seen this before.

6 line Goudy Italic in wood. We’ve had Goudy in wood before but never the lowercase. Has some nice letters.

This woodtype looked like it would make some nice Copperplate initial caps somewhere.

This was a nice full upper and lowercase font that we thought might be good for printing names on certificates. There is enough of it that you could set a number of names before needing to redistribute.

Our first full wood typeface and it was nice to make it Gill Sans. Gill Sans has been one of our favorite typefaces for a while now.  We even did a gravestone rubbing of Eric Gill’s grave site in Spean, England.

An eBay buy in a nice complete font of Cheltenham Condensed Outline. Now if we can develop the mechanism of producing our own wood type it would be nice to create the insides so we could print these in two colors.
