letterpress - the type
a case, showing one full alphabet of a particular font and size
letterpress - the type
lead smells soft,
feels dense,
yet chalky
on the fingertips
an alloy
stronger
than pure lead
meltable, moldable
when it scratches
or gets damaged
thrown
into the hell box
returned to the foundry
recast into new type
You are so singing my song! I love joining you on your adventures in printing! Would that we could all be so easily recast into new type!
