BANG! I shot the serif.

Whilst in North Carolina we had a project to produce a book entirely using an old letter press machine. We were given a sentence and asked to come up with the words and images using only the typefaces that were available to us for use on the letter press.

It was good to be able to use the technology and see what constrains there were but also the positive outcomes from this experience. It also pushed us to think about type in a more interesting way.

This isn't that exact projcet but this is a picture of the letter press machine we used:
