Here we go dipping into the Charlie Broad Matrix Collection again: check out Ionic Shaded in 24pt, originating with the MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan foundry about 1860.
Also new for April: Collection No. 70, a kitchen-floor-full of 36 point puppy prints! We are indebted to John Horn for the Linotype matrix from which this was cast. It’s rare one, I’ve never seen this before and although it has standard factory markings, it’s not found in any Linotype catalog. Casts on a 36 point em-body. Perfect timing to celebrate our new mascot Rufus, a black and tan puppy rescued by United Animal Friends as a stray from a New Mexico reservation. What fun can you have with these?
With the addition in March of 30pt Assorted Quads & Spacing, that product line is now complete from 18 to 48. (We also have sizes above and below that range, used, in The Junk Bin.) Recast and back in stock: Diamond Inlaid 36pt
April brings our favorite annual event, the Bay Area Printers Fair hosted by the San Jose Printers Guild. Skyline has again signed up as a sponsor, and we will be there with three tables sagging with new Fonts, Borders, Initials, and Collections. Free delivery of any orders placed by April 11–when checking out, select Local Pickup as the shipping option and in the Notes field, type Bring to BAPF. See you there!
