The new season of the National Football League has started! This sort of occasion deserves some typesetting and letterpress printing. In this video, Channey letterpress printed an electrotype of a football made by Spalding and the name appears very small in the print. This cut was likely used in some form of a sports advertisement in the late 1930s. The text below the football states, “The NFL is back!” and was typeset in 30 point Caslon font. This was printed with a mix of red and black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852.
