I'm looking to purchase some metal type Helvetica, 48pt or larger. Maybe 100 characters total, doesn't really matter if they're not complete alphabets or anything.
Anyone have any? Or know a good place to find some?
Cheers,
-Gary
I would look at http://www.briarpress.com/ in the classifieds. I'm sure if you posted this same request there, you'd get a few responses. There's also a LETPRESS group over at yahoo groups and you could ask there as well. Can't wait for the movie! --jimmy
Get in contact with Georg Kraus at www.bleisetzer.de, maybe he can help you.
I am dealer of used letterpress types.
And I offer e.g. Helvetica:

And I am dealer for Stempel, so I can offer new Helvetica weights.
But not '100 characters' but complete fonts. But this is not cheap.
For the new types you have to calculate from 48 p
1 kg - approx. 75 Euro
And it can be shipped in anglo-american heigt.
The used ones are much more cheaper, but with a german height.
Regards,
Georg
