Letterpress Wood Type
An inked roller crosses thick cotton paper and leaves wood-type letters pressed deep into it. Patchy ink, wood-grain streaks, a red second color slightly off register and a raking light sell the deboss. Based on hand-set wood-type printing.

Tool-agnosticShow [TEXT] being printed from wood type on a letterpress. Thick cream cotton paper with visible fibers fills the frame. A heavy inked roller travels across the sheet; behind it the first color appears: [TEXT] in brick red as an offset shadow plus red rules and small diamond ornaments. A second roller pass prints [TEXT] in near-black, slightly out of register with the red. Set it in an ornamented Western-style wood display face with small supporting lines in condensed gothic capitals. The ink is patchy, with horizontal wood-grain streaks, pale specks and a darker squeeze at the letter edges, and every letter is pressed deep into the paper: shadowed upper-left inner walls, lit lower-right walls. Hold while a raking light slides across, then the sheet slides away and a fresh one appears.
