Daniel Schneider (Instagram: rustedrebar) is a letterpress printer with an undergraduate degree in journalism and a master's in industrial archeology, a field I am dying to talk to him about. His research has centered on the transformation of nineteenth century artisanal skills within the context of industrialization. He is the Headquarters Manager for the Society for Industrial Archeology at the Michigan Technological University, which is where he earned his master's.We discussed his master's work “excavating” the function of a wood-border stamping machine at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum and, more generally, how we retain and recover industrial knowledge to understand how things worked in the past. Daniel's work considers the worker's role in industrial production, considering the transition of work from craft to repetitive low-skill production.Notes on this episode:“Worker Skill in the Industrial Production of Decorative Wood Type Borders”The Museum of Jurassic TechnologyMemory as an aberration in nature: “Obliscence, Theories of Forgetting and the Problem of Matter”The Tiny Typecase episode with Jim Moran, Master Printer and Collections Officer at the Hamilton MuseumThe episode with David Shields, chair of the Department of Graphic Design at Virginia Commonwealth University in RichmondLouis John Pouchée's remarkable stereotyped large ornamental capitalsWilliam H.

On this first episode in the new run in 2021, please welcome Jim Moran, the master printer and collections officer at the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Hamilton is a unique institution in all sorts of ways. It preserves the manufacturing history and remaining wood type assets of the historical Hamilton Wood Type Company, the dominant producer of wood type in America from the late 1800s through the 1990s.But it’s a lot more. Hamilton perpetuates the knowledge of the past by being an active printing museum. Volunteers cut wood the old-fashioned way and train apprentices. Hamilton has commissioned the design of new wood faces that can then be produced with vintage equipment, but also in conjunction with P22 Type Foundry releases versions of historic faces from their collection and newly made ones in digital form.The museum has also expanded its collection by acquiring massive collections of hand-carved billboard and poster pieces from the Cincinnati Enquirer. It’s also acquired a lot more wood type than it started with, having the largest collection of wood type in the world.Jim and other staff members, board members, affiliated friends, volunteers, and workshop participants print with historic type on historic presses. Each November for the last decade-plus, hundreds of people gather for the Hamilton Wayzgoose, the traditional name for the annual dinner a printing shop would have to celebrate its apprentices moving up. In 2020, that gatherings was virtual—the Awayzgoose—but it went on.Over the pandemic year of 2020, Hamilton reached out to its community and immediately started up the Hamilton Hangs, informal gatherings via Zoom that started around no topic in particular, and quickly shifted to feature printers and artists from around the world. Thousands of attendees across the more than 50 Hangs so far include old friends of the museum and people who might never be able to get to Two Rivers, but have discovered the joy of letterpress, history, and community online.Jim talks about his background, returning to his printing roots, and making lemonade during a year that might seem fallow of lemons.

Nick Sherman is a typographer and typographic consultant based in New York City, co-founder of Fonts In Use and columnist at A List Apart, serves on the board of directors for the Type Directors Club, the Adobe Typography Customer Advisory Board, as well as the artistic board for the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museumh He is both a graduate of and consultant for the typeface design program at Cooper Union. He graduated with honors from the Graphic Design program at MassArt in Boston, where he also taught undergraduate typography and letterpress printing. Nick has worked at Font Bureau, Webtype, and MyFonts, directing web design and promotional material for typefaces in print and digital media. In this interview we talk about Nick’s rituals involving pizza. We wonder if there’re any similarities between pizza and type. Nick explains how he got interested in graphic arts at an early age through music. And how he later on started focussing more on typography. We also talk about the project he did for the Hamilton Wood Type Museum and his work for MyFonts, Font Bureau, Webtype and Fonts in Use. We wonder if Nick can see how type trends go, where it’s getting influenced by, and if he thinks that we’re reaching some sort of a saturation point? Recorded at the Robothon 2015 Conference in The Hague, the Netherlands.
