Fancy: Ornamented Typefaces and Artistic Printing
in the Nineteenth Century
Tuesday, May 26th at 6PM
Joint meeting of TDC (Type Directors Club) and APHA (American Printing History Association)
with Doug Clouse and Angela Voulangas
This event is free and held at The Grolier Club, 47 East 60th Street.
This illustrated talk presents the unique opportunity to explore MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan, the largest and most influential American type foundry of the nineteenth century, and the ingenious eccentricities of Artistic Printing, the movement that challenged the limitations of letterpress printing.
Angela Voulangas and Doug Clouse are the authors and designers of The Handy Book of Artistic Printing: A Collection of Letterpress Examples with Specimens of Type, Ornament, Corner Fills, Borders, Twisters, Wrinklers, and other Freaks of Fancy (Princeton Architectural Press, June 2009).
