Picking up Julia in Gent

I’ve been in the Netherlands for a couple days now, working a little bit with John. Today we took the bus to Gent, Belgium to pick up Julia.

We did a quick turn of the old part of the town, stopping in to look at some Medieval  texts, discussing some differences between calligraphy and type.

Belgian printer Jos Brabants very kindly gave us a ride back to Philippine, Netherlands where we will be working together learning to cast type with the Monotype composition caster.
