October 20th is National Day on Writing! Created by the National Council of Teachers of English, this day was established to raise awareness to the variety of writing styles Americans can engage in and to inspire future writers. Prior to the creation of Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press in the late 1440s, all documents, even books, in Europe were hand written. Printing allowed for the mass production of information. Printing presses were still rare, however. The first press in California arrived in 1835 but Augustín Zamorano was the only printer in California until 1846. For today, Jared decided to take a different direction for National Day on Writing. Jared letterpress printed “Why write when I can print?” in 30 point Brush font. This font was selected because the typeface mimics cursive handwriting. The Brush style of typeface was designed in 1942 by Robert E. Smith for the American Type Founders. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #SacHi...
