t-Y-p-E

Earlier this year, while visiting some friends in Greensboro, NC, my wife and I happened across a really nice antique store that was selling old printing press equipment, from type slugs to the cabinets in which they had been stored.

I picked up a few slugs as gifts for designers I know, as well as some for myself, with the idea of doing some sort of project with them (a poster? t-shirts?). So far I’ve just been toying around in Photoshop and Illustrator:

Any brilliant ideas about what to do with these? I’m all ears.

    Where was it that you picked those up? I really like the lowercase and uppercase together.

    If I'm remembering correctly it was http://www.downtowngreensboro.org/citylight/go/marys-antiques – apparently she also does the endcap displays for Fresh Market?
