Doing a remake of my undertale OC and Sans the Skeleton BECAUSE I CAN 😡😡💥💥💥

The first picture is from this year, and the second is the old one from 2022. I love their friendship 😭💗

(The blush is out of embarrassment cause Sans told a bad joke, so bad that it made both of them embarrassed yeah yeah, they're homies)

gill’s joanna

named for eric gill’s 2nd daughter, joanna (more often called joan), gill designed the joanna types in 1930, & had them cut by caslon in 1931, for use at hague & gill—printing office of eric gill & son-in-law rené hague (married to joan)—in two sizes, 8 & 12 pt (1st image). joanna is interesting for having lightly-sloped italic lower case that shares a single fount of lower-cap-height capitals with the lower case roman; this configuration is reminiscent of venetian renaissance practice—both scribal & printerly. in 12pt, gill provided a set of capitals fuller in height for display. first showing of joanna was gill’s An Essay on Typography [sheed & ward, london, 1931]—vide ‹eric gill on typography›. as indicated at the specimen close (lower, 2nd image), caslon offered joanna for sale to other printing offices, as well. monotype adapted joanna in 1937 in a range of sizes [uk monotype 478].

images are front & back of the folded single-sheet joanna specimen, issued by h.w. caslon co., london; n.d. but presumably 1931.

for examples of gill’s vision with joanna vide ‹work & property› & ‹gill’s trousers›. for comparison with digital joanna vide ‹life drawing›.

It's Fine Press Friday!

This Friday we turn once again to our recent donation from the estate of artist and book collector Dennis Bayuzick with an edition of Nataniel Hawthorne's 1837 short story from Twice-Told Tales, Sights from a Steeple, printed here by Ronald Keller in 1988 at his Red Angel Press in Bremen, Maine, with an original 38 x 18-inch color wood engraving by Keller, printed in an edition of 100 copies signed by the artist/printer.

The engraving sits folded above the text, but can unfold and surround the text when opened. Hawthorne writes as an observer sitting in his lofty perch of a steeple in a New England seaport, presumably Salem, where he describes the surrounding countryside, distant sea, and gathering storm clouds. The text was printed in hand-set Plantin type, with Caslon titling, on Frankfurt paper, with the wood engraving printed in green, blue, and black on Sekishu paper.

Thank you to @emilybeemartin and @thekenobee for this delightful idea to live rent free in my head forever <3

I made a hand written font last night and got it downloaded into my Word processing software and I'm so happy with it. Now I can make so many more zines without exacerbating my tendonitis!!!!

[revvethasmythh]

sometimes you just have to accept the kind of person that you are (woman who thought “wow I really like this font! looks like Adobe Caslon Pro!” while reading a book and then specifically looked it up and realized that she was exactly right about what font it was and felt very self-satisfied)
