Letterpress Perpetual Calendar

We are ready!
Beautifully printed by Archivio Tipografico in Turin.
I designed this calendar with Neon, a lead type by Nebiolo. I love Neon since it changes its width/height ratio at different body sizes. I used this feature to set weekdays in different languages on of top of each other, while numbers for days and months use a bigger body size. The date can be set the Italian way (day/month) or the American way (month/day).
The paper is Fedrigoni Materica 360 gr, edge painted by hand.
On the cover you can see a digital illustration, then printed with a cliché.
Infinity symbol: what's more perpetual than this?
0 and 1 numbers, accurately digitally re-designed following the original Neon design, used to write "Perpetual Calendar" with ASCII binary characters.
Limited edition: 50 pcs.
