Saturday setting

What did you do with your Saturday?

I spent mine typesetting. I've been working on the glyphs and chapter headings so I thought the best way to see how they looked was to actually set a page.
I know in a modern printed book they would never use a ragged edged. But, I find doing all the kerning and line space adjustment to fit it all together like a puzzle to be relaxing.

I'm not convinced of using the streaky ink look. But, I think the motif works quite well for a start. I used 'Bodoni' to set the text.

Here are the other glyphs.

What do you think?

Enjoy!

    You need a glyph for "shitstorm" since it's such a popular term these days! xo
