This past fall, Bill Jones bought the original patterns for around 100 typefaces from the now defunct American Wood Type Manufacturing Company as well as a large pantograph for cutting wood type. He’s set up shop in his garage and has started producing “entire fonts, alphabets for collectors, sorts and fill-in characters to complete a font, and ornaments.” He’s now offering 5 fonts on his website, Virgin Wood Type. Jones writes about making one of the fonts, Rugged, here. A while back, I wrote a post about another guy making wood type with a pantograph — that post has links to pictures of cutting the type as well as a youtube video.
