Printle: A Printing Word Game from Metal Type


Dave Hughes



View on eBay:
14 point Gallia NOS (ATF #502) Letterpress Type for printing*

This seller has more type for sale. See their OTHER ITEMS*

Seller's description:

"Gallia is a unique decorative letter designed by Wadsworth A. Parker for ATF in 1927, and copied by Monotype the following year. It is a severe thick-and-thin style, with main strokes divided by two white lines into a thick and two thin lines. There are flourished alternate forms of several letters, for use as initials or terminals."*

NOTE: Harvested from the private collection of Dave Churchman, APA 308. You may have seen this font in the chaotic background of the letterpress documentary, "Pressing On".

* Mac McGrew, "American Typefaces of the Twentieth Century", Second Revised Edition, p. 149.

Thanks!
