What’s Been Happening?
A Short Break
I started the online store back in the first half of 2021 but little did I know that my father would take a bad fall a few weeks later. I had to stop casting for several months but now I am back in action. I’m looking forward to casting more fonts and ornaments.
A New Type Caster!
Pelican Type Foundry has now acquired a Type and Rule Caster! After finally getting it up and going I cast the Monotype Border 176 on it. It still needs some love and attention for 24pt and above, but the 18pt is just fine.
New Books Scanned
I have scanned 2 new books now available on archive.org. I have several more in the works to be scanned.
Book 1: Universal Type Caster Faces https://archive.org/details/nuernberger-rettig-specimen-book
This book came my way from Sky Shipley of https://skylinetype.com.
The original scans of the book were done by David McMillian of https://www.circuitousroot.com.
This is the Specimen Book for The Universal Type-making Company in 1915. you can read more about the Universal Type-making caster here: https://www.circuitousroot.com/artifice/letters/press/noncomptype/caster...
Book 2: Monotype Composition Plate Book 1955. https://archive.org/details/monotype-composition-plate-book-1955
Thank you,
