Two columns, one spine.
We met over a spilled case of 12-point Caslon at an evening letterpress class on Clerkenwell Green — Olivia sorting, James apologising. By the end of the night we'd set one line together and argued, happily, about the kerning.
Six years on, we still keep Thursdays for the studio: one press, two aprons, tea going cold on the stone. James proposed with a single line locked in the chase — she said yes before he'd even pulled the proof. This is the announcement.
No corrections in tomorrow's edition. We set this one in lead, and lead is final.
