My little story :)
Once upon a time, behind 7 printers and 7 reams of paper lived a Yellow notebook.
One day the Yellow notebook got up ,drank a pen of ink and took the first photocopier to a linocut and a woodcut studio.
He was very excited because that was the day that he was going to get his cover with a very nice screen printed title in a universe typeface on a textured paper.
On his way he bumped into his friend screen who was supposed to help him, but he had broken his canvas. He suggested looking for some cards to cut out stencils and some fabric, as the winter was getting closer.
They looked at the plan of the building with a grid shaped as a cupcake, which made them really hungry so they went for a letterpressed cupcake and a questionable cup of glue liquid. The whole Vintage coffee shop was decorated with embossed ornaments.
They returned to the studio to look for the materials they needed, but they couldn't find any so they decided to use what they already had - a sheet of acetate, and they tried to make some broken type out of it.
They measured the height of the yellow notebook and tried to kern and track ,and justified type by hand.
Finally they ended up with a deconstructed typeface and no time left for binding, so they had to look for a file box that would take them home.
