By Nigel Sielegar

James Clough's second workshop day was devoted entirely to making classical letters, based on Bodoni and Garamond, by hand. Then developing interpretations of the letters using the classical proportions into custom types and typography. Always insightful, building faces by hand is one step closer to the roots of this lingua franca.
