a little late on the draw, but hey. here are my thoughts on the film "typeface" that we watched a couple of weeks ago in type.
though the film was super depressing to me, i have a new found love for wood type and letterpress. the designs and texture within the wood is so beautifully translated to paper, i definitely agree with one of the people interviewed that said it's possible to recreate using filters, but nothing compares to the original. even though the film was super depressing in regards to how wood type and letterpress is viewed and used today, i have to say, i still have an interest in pursuing taking a letterpress class and really learning how to create some beautiful pieces using wood type.
