EXHIBITIONS AND AWARDS

We are currently exhibiting in Imaginary Menargerie, a show exploring language's tongue-tripping and unpronounceable labyrinths at text/gallery. In the run-up to Christmas we will also be taking part in an interior-themed group show, Hatchet and Helve at Standpoint Gallery (where Reverting to Type was held this time last year). And finally, congratulations to design agency OPX who have won an ISTD award for the Look Mum No Hands! corporate branding designed with a font from our type library.


HOT OFF THE PRESS

We have been hard at work producing four new prints featuring quotes from author Mark Twain and philosopher Lao Tse, and poetry from Swinburne and thirtieth president of United States of America, Calvin Coolidge.


ORANGES & LEMONS SECOND EDITION

The ink is dry on a new run of our Oranges & Lemons collaboration with Richard Ardagh. First printed in 2008, the print has been sold out for two years but a second edition of 200 prints is now available.
