INKHORN

A letterpress word-hand deckbuilder. You are the printer's devil and the quota is impossible. Set words from a rack of lead slugs into a composing stick, pull the press, and watch the score flare through your sorts — jokers of movable type that double vowels, pay for prefixes and square your multiplier. Three chapters, eight deadline constraints, fifty sorts, five type specimens and a bundled 371,739-word dictionary. Shop the type foundry between rounds, then hand the device to a second printer and run the same seed against them.
