Printer's Blocks
$600.00
"Printer's Blocks" is an abecedarium composed from vintage wood type and printer’s blocks letterpress printed on Magnani Revere and formed into surprisingly light yet sturdy cubes. Letters are arranged in a box as they would be in a case of type (with J and U following Z) since those letters were not used by early English printers. Two sides of each block include a variety of handset patterns created from American Type Founder’s Dainty Border No. 1 that— like the border—can be arranged to delight. Two bonus blocks are included with catchwords “and” and “the” plus ampersand and exclamation marks.
11.5 × 2 × 9" aluminum box contains 28 cubes that measure 1.5", edition of 40.
