I was perfectly happy to have my wood type organized by letter, which meant that you’d have to dig through several cases to find similar typefaces for proper typesetting, but was a quick and easy organizational principle. Amazingly enough, one of my renters and letterpress compatriots told me he loved doing that kind of work, so we now have a full cabinet (and some plastic bins) full of wood type organized by typeface.
What wonders! I’ll be able to fit in the new wood type I got from friends who went to Brimfield Antique Market a couple weeks ago and decided I didn’t have enough.
