I conjured these up today, inspired by memories of life inside The Guild at this time of year, with Anne and Gilbert entering rehearsal and song filling the halls. My new office is near-silent, at least when the violin teacher next door isn’t teaching, but these remain solid words to live by.
The typeface is 36 pt. Tourist Gothic, acquired from Letterpress Things three years ago. It’s got some funky alternate capitals, and I used the alternate E and the S here; I love them for their weirdness.
The paper is from an inexpensive pad of Japanese note paper that I bought in Toronto for $4 a couple of years ago.
The ink is an old can of Flame Red that Kwik Kopy kindly donated to me.
It was a fine day for printing, with almost perfect humidity; things rolled out seamlessly.
