121% + Postcard preview…
Hello Everyone!
I wanted to post an update before the project ends.
First, thanks again to everyone for funding Uchronia up to 121% so far. I'm really excited to get started on putting the typeface and the rewards/specimens into production.
I've had a lot of requests to post images of the printed rewards. Without the completed font, it's not possible to show a finished design of the poster, which I hope to include either the entire character set on or at least a good pangram or two. BUT the postcard is a much simpler design because of the smaller space and the type size required by a titling face like Uchronia. So, here are the details of the postcard and a rendering of the front as it will look (to the best of my abilities) letterpressed on the paper I've chosen.
The card will be printed on Mohawk Loop Antique Vellum, 160# Cover in 'Milkweed' (color), and will be sent to you in a matching envelope. This paper is also great because it is a 100% PCW (post consumer waste) recycled paper. As stated previously, it will be 9.25 in. x 3.875 in. The back of the card will have a small rubber stamp in the corner, indicating it's number 'X' of 250 plus my initials and date. The card will be printed by the skilled folks at Boxcar Press in Syracuse, NY.
If the project hits $4,000 or more I'd like to bump up the rewards a little bit, particularly the postcard since this has been the most popular reward level, and include tinted/painted edges. And, if by some great fortune we get close to $5,000, I'd also like to bump the poster up to 2-color from the current 1-color.
