Our new “found type” blog: The Printers’ Pie

I am a typographic hunter-gatherer, stalking interesting specimens of written language in the wild. I’m going to be sharing my favorite finds on my new Tumblr, The Printers’ Pie. You can also follow it on Twitter, @theprinterspie “Printers’ Pie” is a term from the days of typesetting metal and wood type by hand, describing the chaos resulting from a klutzy printer knocking a case of type to the floor. I carry a camera with me every day, and am always making new discoveries, but I’m also digging out photos from my archives, shot everywhere from Pakistan to California ghost towns.
