Garamond type punches, originally uploaded by debcha.

I'd be swooning too. Some of the best times I had in High School were the learning, and then running, of Linotype.

I can call myself a printer, a typesetter, and a pressman.

The printing (casting type) was only a little more thrilling than setting it. Finally locking down the type and running a test page was "the reveal" to see if you'd done it right.

After that, actually doing the run was sort of anti-climactic

Garamonde cut these... wow.
