Me and type go way back. At RISD I did an internship with Barry Moser whose fine, press limited-edition books blew my mind. Hot type printed on handmade paper--it's a thing of beauty. My degree project was designing, illustrating, printing and binding an edition of 50 handmade books. I still remember taking a file to my 36pt metal type to tighten up the kerning for the book title. Setting type by hand, justifying with coppers, tins and little slips of paper--typography was not for the lazy.
