So, due to some research in the homework this week, we found a new font that is freely available for download and installation to your computer to use an abuse. This semester I had a project using "Letter Press" that really peaked my attention. I attended the Wayzgoose annual festival last year in 2011 in Two Rivers, WI and was enlightened to the old style of letter press. I have been infatuated ever since. This font does much of the effect, although to the trained eye, it still reveals that it is still a fake.
The beauty of this font is that it represents the letter press style pretty accurately. The fault is that no letter press letter repeats itself identically. But this is a fantastic reproduction of the overall effect is it is required in moderation. Another flaw of this installed font is that it doesn't appear to contain simple punctuation such as apostrophe's and comma's.
