Intercut experimental wood type system

Before graduating from MassArt last May, I spent a semester (and then some) working on an experimental wood typeface design / production project. The project was recently selected to be featured in a Contemporary Letterpress exhibition (www.mcla.edu/Gallery51/0703/), so I figured it would be a good time to put all my process together for others to see.

That is a really fascinating project. My father is an engineer and he has a 3D cutting machine thing like in your video. I’ve always been intrigued by it, and now that I know it can make fun stuff for my letterpress, I might have to learn how it works.
