John Nack on Adobe : (rt) Type: Know your history, Great letterpress, & more

December 24, 2009

I love this groovy letterpress typesetting from Perky Bros.
Know Your Type: Histories of Futura, Clarendon, and other faces.
If at first your get-rich-quick scheme fails to draw suckas, just promise another zero.
“Ligature, Loop & Stem“: Beautiful typographical products, gratuitously obtuse nav.
The alphabet spelled out using letters from famous logos.

Glad to someone remembers our past. Maybe someone will do a gig on an ATEX machine. That’s the forerunner to PageMaker, where we made galleys and they were then photographed, using a stat camera.
Lotsa stories that combination

The nav on LL&S was intended to be as minimal as possible – “gratuitously obtuse” as it might be (for now anyway). The site is intended to be a bit of an experiment and purposefully non-traditional. Thanks for noticing us John!
