Thanks to Hooksmith’s excellent Substack on his newly acquired Delittle’s ‘Eboracum’ woodtype I’ve discovered I have some in my collection!
Ok it’s just the banner ends but great to ID - at 26 line the type would’ve been impressive!

Very slooooow start to printmaking this year…
Only just got around to inking up the Space Boy print I was working on end of last year- picked up some of the laser cuts due to being a shallow cut but hey it’s part of the process.

New #letterpress posters on our website, as always using antique woodtype and vintage metal type. Chocolate features 2 art nouveau ornaments from @mckellier.bsky.social revival series, some of the only 'new' blocks we have. Looking good with the Creamore Mill oak #poster hangers. #buyartfromartists

I noticed that the kerf (width of cut / blade thickness) is slightly different on my new blades for my trim saw. I remembered you get gasket paper in different thicknesses - a quick laser cut later and saw is back to being pica & point accurate.

Still working on resetting my relationship with all things online, staying busy printing and life-ing. Yesterday I dabbled with white-on-white for creating a background, and I like the results. (I’m also really enjoying the Tellenbach flower ornaments by @mckellier.bsky.social.) 🤍

Typeface v Font?
As this Shutterstock blog post neatly sums up:
"You can think of the typeface as the family and the font as the individual family members."
