Letterpress Lead Printing for my prototype
![Letterpress Lead Printing for my prototype](https://www.splendidla.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Letterpress_Session_Two_05.jpg)
For my book cover prototype print, I choose a small lead font called 8pt Petit Post Versalien

After choosing the font, I proceed to set up the 8 point size letters which takes a lot of concentration and care
Then, I start to set up the printing press and to lock the type into place
I proceed to pick two colours that will achieve the style that I’m looking for – black and silver
Printing small letters onto small paper takes more time than printing big letters onto bigger paper (i.e. poster size)

BÄR’S ABENTEUER
Great result – Silver on black
