This sonnet has been typeset by hand in original Caslon type. The steel punches of this type were hand-cut by William Caslon in London in the 1700s. These types are part of the original equipment of Tallone’s typographic studio, which has been continuously in operation since the late 18th century:
Printed letterpress on pure-cotton Magnani paper, mould-made in Pescia, Tuscany.

Neither monotype nor linotype are used. These typesetting systems from a keyboard are often passed off as manual typography.
The Tallone Press does not print from plastic relief plates either. Derived from digital compositions, they are very much in vogue to simulate the effect of type impression onto the paper.
