While the historic run by the Sacramento Kings in the NBA playoffs has come to an end, we here at the Sacramento History Museum couldn’t be more proud of our home team. We will be back next year! Here’s one last video for the Beam Team this season. In this video, Jared letterpress printed cards in purple oil base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop press. This electrotype of a basketball clearly shows its age because basketballs stopped having laces in the late 1930s. The font is 30 point

The NBA season has started and we here at the Sacramento History Museum are, of course, rooting for the home team! In honor of the start of the season, Howard letterpress printed something for the Sacramento Kings. This electrotype clearly shows its age because basketballs stopped having laces in the late 1930s. The font is 30 point Caslon. This was printed using our Washington hand press, made in 1852. #nba #basketball #typography #nbaseason #sacramentokings #sacramento #museum #printing | Sacr
