...between the internalized, swirling brew of emotions, symbols and words that live fully in our minds, and the words that get pushed out, recorded, and live again when read. The machine matters. like Hermes, the pen, brush or typewriter carry the message from the spirit world into the one in which we live, and colors the output by her presence. There is a tangible differe
nce between the constant, often mindless stream of text we tap and thumb on our devices, and actually pounding out our hearts and souls onto the typewriter's keys and seeing the physical imprint of our thoughts and feelings on paper. It is to this magic that we dedicate Tampa Type
