That’s right, Wayzgoose, not to be confused with WYSIWYG. It is actually a gathering happening this coming weekend at the Hamilton Wood Type museum in Wisconsin. It comes from a printer’s dinner given by a master printer to his workmen at the end of summer according to Wikipedia. It also means stubble goose (harvest goose) according to dictionary.com. Regardless of bird knowledge, no one is more knowledgeable on wood type than Hamilton. This weekend Matthew Carter will release Carter Latin Wide, his first wood typeface. Also on hand is the documentary TypeFace about Hamilton from Kartemquin Films. Anyone want to buy me a weekend plane ticket?
