Gutenberg Bible type

I was very honored to spent a week working with Rainer Gerstenberg at his foundry in Darmstadt (Germany). While I was there, the 24 pt Gutenberg Bible fount that had been cast prior to my arrival – and has been made in close collaboration with the Gutenberg museum in Mainz – was packed and prepared for shipping. Some extra founts were cast and sit on the shelves, ready to be dispatched. I just wanted to share some of the photos that I took. More photos, taken over a period of five days, showing the casting of Sabon, Swabacher, Leichte Helvetica etc. will soon be posted on Flickr.
