Digital BW, The Print

One assumes that all text is put in directly from hot metal slugs then....
I mean to say, ask any decent typographer and they will tell you that
digital fonts hardly ever obey the recognised typographical rules so
photosetting must also be out of favour.

I look forward to this magazine producing an edition entirely dedicated to
and made from woodcuts.
