Typography and the Web

Me and type go way back. At RISD I did an internship with Barry Moser whose fine, press limited-edition books blew my mind. Hot type printed on handmade paper–it’s a thing of beauty. My degree project was designing, illustrating, printing and binding an edition of 50 handmade books. I still remember taking a file to my 36pt metal type to tighten up the kerning for the book title. Setting type by hand, justifying with coppers, tins and little slips of paper–typography was not for the lazy.
