Awhile back I finally got ahold of a font of wood type — it was in great condition and a serious steal.  They are pretty large — about 3 inches high — so they work well for monogram cards or invitations with a bold look.

It was fun playing around with the type and remembering how to lock everything up so that  it prints just where I want it to.  There is definitely more planning required and more limitations imposed than printing with photopolymer plates, and I definitely felt a little out of practice.

But I just love the worn out left edge of that capital “A” and the funky texture of the type — especially the overprinted areas.  If you love it as well, let us know — we can certainly design a project for you that uses our antique wood type.  I’m always looking for more to add to the collection…

Goodbye!
