John Flood gifted me a case of 14 pt. Weiss Italic last week, type he’d originally been given by Thaddeus Holownia.
It’s a typeface unlike any other I own: precious, delicate, with a need to be very frugal with inking to avoid plugging up the loops in letters like e and g.
Once I figured that out, I was very pleased with what resulted.
I am Peter Rukavina and this is my blog. I am a writer, letterpress printer, and a curious person.
To learn more about me, read my /now, look at my bio, listen to audio I’ve posted, read presentations and speeches I’ve written, see things I’ve favourited elsewhere, or get in touch (peter@rukavina.net is the quickest way).
I have been writing here since May 1999: you can explore the 25+ years of blog posts in the archive.
You can subscribe to an RSS feed of posts, an RSS feed of comments, an RSS feed of favourites elsewhere, or a podcast RSS feed that just contains audio posts. You can also receive a daily digests of posts by email. I also publish an OPML blogroll.
