Typography Tuesday

Our former Special Collections Graduate Intern Katie, now a historian for SNA International/Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), sent us a holiday gift of tarot cards designed by letterpress printer Nicole ManganelliĀ at Radical EmprintsĀ in Portland, Maine. The deck was designed digitally in Garamond,Ā ā€œa typeface that hails from the same era and locale as some of the first tarot decks,ā€ and is printed by Dale Rand Printing, a union printshop in Portland. Of this set, Manganelli writes:

I conceived & created the PRINTERSā€™ TAROT beginning in November 2017. In a true moment of flow, I designed almost the entire Major Arcana in one sitting. As a student of letterpress printing, I have a deep love of letterforms and a belief that typography is simply full of magic.
This 78-card black and white tarot deck is designed entirely using letterforms to create images. None of the letters were distorted to make the images; they were merely manipulated in space and layeredā€¦ .
The face cards depart from the traditional and are instead made up of novices, apprentices, journeymen, and master printers. It seemed only right to celebrate the skill, trade, and craft of letterpress printing as part of a deck that is so wildly enamored with typography.

Wonderful typographic prints and a lovely set tarot cards. Thank you Nicole for your thoughtful design, and thank you Katie for this excellent addition to our typographical collections!
