NEW FONT & PRINT EDITION We are thrilled to have prototype wood blocks for a new ornamented typeface, courtesy of Nigel Bents' BA Graphic Design Communication students at Chelsea College of Art & Design. The font has already been employed in a poster edition by our talented placement student, Kaia Moore from Mossbourne Academy in Hackney. I Think of You in Colours That Don't Exist is available from our online print shop now. |
| MONTHLY WORKSHOPS BEGIN Our program of monthly Introduction to Letterpress workshops began this month with an enthusiastic group of partakers who produced a great collaborative print on the subject of an upcoming global sporting event, with the considerable restriction of adhering to the stringent brand guidelines forbidding almost all words relating to the occasion. |
| REVERTING
TO TYPE PORTFOLIO 1 We are proud to announce the completion of Reverting to
Type Portfolio 1: Ten typographic collaborations, featuring work from Phil Baines, Vikram Seth, Fraser

| 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. |
