New #letterpress posters on our website, as always using antique woodtype and vintage metal type. Chocolate features 2 art nouveau ornaments from @mckellier.bsky.social revival series, some of the only 'new' blocks we have. Looking good with the Creamore Mill oak #poster hangers. #buyartfromartists

A fount of pangrams, a chapbook of sorts, featuring 22 pangrams created specifically for their typefaces. All but the smallest 3 metal types at Frost Pocket. Pangrams have been used by printers & typographers since the beginning, and have been around for centuries before that.
