    Q: You nearly always use the
    same type.
    Any particular reason?
    A: That's how the stencils
    come.
    Q: But if you preferred
    another typeface,
    would you think it improper to
    cut
    your own stencils?
    A: Of course not.
    Q: Then you really do like
    those best?
    A: Yes.
