Hot Lead

Our Intertype machine in the Printmaking department came in really handy for making the titles for the spines of my thesis books. It would have taken me countless hours to handset the type for all 28 books, not to mention all of the patience I had left at that point. It's such an intimidating machine at first, but once you start using it it's kind of addictive! Your jaw can't help but drop while you marvel at the complexity of it's construction and what an incredible machine it is!
Who designed this thing?! Hats off to ya!

Special thank you to George Walker for teaching me how to use the Intertype machine, and for defending its presence in the department all of these years. It's a real asset to the studio!
