Thought you might find this interesting: http://atlasobscura.com/place/plantin-moretus-museum-of-printing . Because of this: "Amazingly this museum houses the world's only copy of the original Garamond letter dies. It was these catalogs of letter dies that are called upon when a particular fonts is digitized, which form the basis for the Garamond font which you can now pull up in any text editor."
Awesome! Thanks for showing me this!

Tell us something about yourself. Are you a student? What got you into typography?
Oh man, I’m about to lose all my cred. I’ve mentioned this before, I think, but I’m a second year in college, studying… cooking. Culinary arts, if you wanna call it that. No specific focus.
As for what got me into typography, I like words, and I like pretty pictures, which turned into liking pretty pictures with words on them, which turned into an appreciation for typography. I think the real appreciation came after I started this tumblr, though.

i’m the opposite of outdoorsy but i quite adore these charming little postcards — the typography is simply enhanced by some spotless letterpressing!
