#copperplategothic

Mid terms type specimen project, with two colors in set of 20. 

For this project I had to make a type specimen for Copperplate Gothic with the letter press machine. It was a tedious work as the metal letters was quite tiny and there wash that many metal parts left to make the gaps that was needed to lock up the frame. The printing process it self was quite easy, just had to make sure it was on the right place. The final prints however tends to be a bit messy since i was working very quickly and didn't notice hands had many ink. 

It was such a experience working using the machine and all the metal types, with the frames and all the other equipments to make the print. Very different to when just making these typeface digitally, where its very easy to erase a mistake by just clicking a button and not as much printing issue as using the letter press printing.
