Nice and very useful wooden ruler from 1950s- Howarth & Smith Monotype Limited was a Canadian company specializing in typography and design. I especially like the ‘creative typographers’ #letterpressprinting #letterpresslove #typography #letterpressisnotdead #letterpress #letterpressstudio

“ Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever
And you know that she’s half crazy, and that’s why you want to be there.” - Leonard Cohen #lino #linocutprintmaking #linoleumcutprint #linoprint #linogravure #linoblock #lino #calmwaters

Super Sleuthing!! Mystery Solved. Typefaces Venus @6pt and 8pt light extended. Also a very good selection of French diacritic. I need a break 😝. “Venus or Venus-Grotesk is a sans-serif typeface family released by the Bauer Type Foundry of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, circa 1907.

12pt Bank Gothic Bold and 12pt Bank Gothic Medium. Designed in 1930-1933 by Morris F. Benton for ATF. Tested my patience but still manageable to sort. On to the next project, and I’m still going through the pain of 6pt Bank Gothic Light and 6pt Gothic Bold #bankgothic #letterpressisnotdead
