As my last chapter requires me to look at the aesthetic of traditional and its return in digital font I have decided to go down the road and carry out my own observations and investigations about the aesthetic by taking a hands on approach. I found that the college has little knowledge on how to use the letterpress machine so I would have to rely on working with woodblock. Once down there I became fascinated with the printed finish of the letters with all their irregularities. I have learnt that this adds character to a typeface that is lost with those which are produced digitally. This personality is something which I want to capture in my own font for the practical.
