Yet another old Spanish medicine ad. I kind of wish they'd used more than two colors, but it's hard to go wrong with red for letters this bold. I like the curves of the S--it's got an organic, dragon-body shape that contrasts nicely with the pure rectangles of the rest of the letters.
I don't know Spanish, so I don't know if the word purisimo by itself actually modifies the S, but I like the way it sounds.

from M Parker's library: "look at the rich blacks!" esteemed as the most gorgeously printed book ever (poorly photographed here), from post war Germany. Zapf did all lettering. i've forgotten the punch cutter's name. bad form.
I attended a conference at St. Bride Library in 2007. During the 2 days we had experiences with various type tools one of them was hand carving. I loved it to bits.
Now that I am revisiting the earlier stuff I made it is the perfect opportunity to rekindle my love of monumental hand carved letters.

Similarly, I made a template which has marks for the lettering spacing I use. It also has the markings in from the top/bottom and left/right of the page for the margins.
I align the top of this notecard with the top of the panel and then make tick marks along the right side. Then I use the T-square to rule out the lettering lines. Make sense?

The building of the University Library Leuven is a Neo-Renaissance design from the American architects Whitney Warren and Charles D. Wetmore. It was built overlooking the Mgr. Ladeuzeplein between 1921 and 1928.
The names of the American Colleges and Universities, whose donations helped rebuilding the old library that had been destroyed in 1914, are carved in different styles of lettering in the sand stone bricks of the building.
