letterpress. A lot of autotracing to preserve the bumpy edge. the small
caps were a reaction to fake small caps which don’t match in weight.

Schenectady (New York), 1958
His life in brief: “have
always loved letters, but too shaky to letter by hand until i got onto
the mac in 1996. MFA in printmaking, professor of art at The Sage Colleges
in Albany NY. monoprint is my main medium and making fonts is sort of
like my hobby. if you don’t have children, play games or watch sports
you need other things to do :-)”
Dominican: how ? why ?
“The roman is adapted from a font of the same name in a dan
x. solo font book,
with additional characters. the italic includes many characters i drew
by hand. active attempt to make something better than the overused Caslon
Antique.
The Dominican is far from one of my favorites or more
original or personal fonts. To see my better, newer work go to have
a look on National Archive.”
