two color letterpress print

a cheeky, twitter-referential letterpress reprint of these words, using all hand-set type & ornaments that i found in the collection at Pickwick Independent Press. it took me a couple of hours to typset & proof it, and a little more time to run them all through the press twice for two colors--i guess it doesn't really get more analog than that, right?

i mean, i love a clever hot take too, but it feels worth it to remember that often our deepest ideas require more nuance than any of the corporate internet platforms, owned by caricature billionaires (#EatTheRich), are built for by design. because who wins when we misunderstand each other? the ruling class!

words originally printed on the vandercook at pickwick independent press, february 2022.
updated design in november 2022, also printed on the vandy at pickwick.
