We like to use national and world holidays to highlight items in our museum for our videos. Sometimes we really stretch the purpose of the “holiday” to fit a topic that is unrelated. Today is one of those days because May 22nd is World Goth Day! For today, Howard letterpress printed the word “GOTHIC” while discussing the Gothic style of fonts, which can also be referred to as San Serif. The type used is 20 line pica wood type, which is the largest Gothic type we have in our print shop at the Sacramento History Museum. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #WorldGothDay #gothic #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #printing
