Title
Commercially made fishing tackle box adapted by Terry Belanger to contain various typographical materials. One from a set of twelve.
Description
What do fishing tackle boxes have to do with letterforms? This kit includes a selection of typographical materials, ranging from 17th-century foundry type and a sort of wood type to Linotype mats and slugs, Monotype sorts and rolls, and unfinished hand-cast examples made using the replica hand type mould shown in this case. Note how the unfinished sort of type still includes the jet of metal that resulted from metal being poured into the inner chamber of the mould.
