Last year Spiekermann created the typeface HWT Artz specifically for the process of cutting with a pantograph at Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum. Since then he has been experimenting with the production of new type for his printing machines at P98a for a while, as one of the gallery’s aims is to research how letterpress can be redefined in the digital age. Reproductions of old type have been cut for P98a from pear wood by Michael Linke, but the gallery team has also tried other methods: 3D-printing, CNC routing and laser cutting. In a recent experiment FF Real was cut in Resopal® at Fab Lab Berlin; however the technique still lacks a certain precision in maintaining consistent stroke widths. Some of Spiekermann’s research results are summarized in the P98a blog article Making new large type for letterpress.
