Letterpress, hand-set metal type and Linotype composition
4” x 4”
In early August of 2023, in the midst of blackberry season, a good friend celebrated their 55th birthday. The recipe was modified from the “Bramble” genre of drinks, and these coasters were created in honor of the occasion. Additional sets were distributed to the Fall 2023 NW Letterpress Network group exchange.
Using random display type from the galley labeled “To Redistribute” (standing now for nearly 20 years), Franklin Gothic, and fresh Linotype Caslon Bold. Printed in a small edition on the tabletop Craftsman press with metallic ink.
