Sorry about the title, I couldn’t resist.

Just a quick nudge in the direction of a project on kickstarter that I think is well worth backing. Basically Matt Braun & Matt Griffin are trying to raise enough cash to revive 10 rare wood letterpresses and turn them into modern digital fonts. The beta version of their first font Fat Boy Husky is available as a free download (used in the image above).

We two hearty designers are letterpress printers, yes – but also men of computers and the Internets! We wish to scour the globe for 10 of the most prized fonts of wood type we can acquire. And then we will print these faces on our trusty Vandercook proof press, and carry them over into the world of vectors and Opentype font-ery.
