Antique Letterpress Characters


I'm now happy owner of this beautiful tray of assembled Victorian wood letters used for posters (and some cast lead characters) found at Brighton Street Market.
And here's a bit more about letterpress (in the US): A heartwarming trailer to a movie called Typeface, which is a documentary about Letterpress, Hamilton Wood Type Museum and the people behind it:

Brush Stroke





Brush Stroke, named by my very practical better half, is a based on characters painted with a fat brush. Every character is a gesture giving this typeface a spontaneous, expressive feel.
Brush Stroke is suitable for headings and short paragraphs. It is extended, containing West European diacritics making it suitable for multilingual environments and publications. For now it's only available from Seagull Hut.
