The Annual Meeting


Permalink

Since 2013 we’ve designed the Annual Meeting program for the American Printing History Association—each time with a stamp related to historical printing. This one might be our last because we’re running out of good stamps to use.

Pieces of Eight for Trinity


Permalink

Pieces of Eight is the third catalogue we’ve designed for the American Studies 835/435: Museum & Library Exhibitions students at Trinity College. For the past three years they’ve put on an exhibit at the Watkinson Library, and for the past three years we’ve designed a catalogue for them with Kepler and Benton Sans types. See some spreads from the first catalogue we designed for them here.

Godine.com


Permalink

Every time we design a web site we swear it will be our last—but the chance to design one for David R. Godine, Publisher was too good to pass up. It’s still very much in process (the mobile version, for example, is forthcoming), but it’s live and taking orders, and much better (we hope) than the site they’ve had for the last ten yearsSee the new Godine site here.

The Prodigal (Issue No. 1) Returns


Permalink

Back from the printer is the inaugural issue of Progigal, a new literary journal which we designed. The cover definitely had some help, though, from this collage by John Stezaker.

New Book!


Permalink

We wrote (and designed) a new book! About dogs! And Joanne Rossman Design will be hosting an event for us on November 20 from 5 to 8 pm! Get your copy of Dogs are OK here!

Oh, Canada!

The first Canadian type designer to design a stamp is the second Canadian in our collection. Please join us in welcoming Carl Dair!

I Wanna Shake Your Hand


Permalink

Today we shook the 103-year-old hand of Daniel Aaron, the writer and academic who helped found the Library of America, whose latest book we designed. We hope our handshake is half-as-firm when we’re his age. The 560 pages of Commonplace Book, 1934–2012 read like he was live-tweeting the twentieth century.

We Can’t Take the Heat

Just sent off to the printer were files for Nicolas Freeling’s The Kitchen Book & The Cook Book published by David R. Godine. We brought Juliana and Rosart to this knife fight. See how we did here. And order yourself a copy here.
