Typeface that I have been hoarding for the last couple of years. Pilot. If you would like a copy of the broadside, join the FPBA at the deluxe level.

In Progress: Hungry Bibliophiles: An Experiment in Utilitarian Bookmaking
http://russellmaret.blogspot.com/2014/12/hungry-bibliophiles-experiment-in.html
News and notes from Russell Maret's studio. Friday, December 5, 2014. Hungry Bibliophiles: An Experiment in Utilitarian Bookmaking. Was the arbiter of process. An example of ink bleed on paper that had its sizing washed off in a flood. The paper is not meant to be perfect or precious but well-made and serviceable, to invite contact and annotation. With this paper, Tim and his colleagues are attempting an intriguing sleight of hand, engaging an historical process. Actually do it . Paul Gehl and Rob Carlson.
