The tracklist for the I May Be Some Time album is created using a very special technique. Each letter is cut out and arranged one by one, just like they would have been with letterpress printing during the early 1900s – the same era the album is inspired by.

The process allows granular control over the letters and spacing, producing an effect that is impossible to achieve with a technically perfect computer font.

This video provides a look at how it was done:
