‘Ampersands’ wood type print by New North Press
Our friends over at New North Press, Richard Ardagh and Graham Bignell, have created a new letterpress print from a range of wood type ampersands.
The damped paper was blind embossed revealing the shapes of the type blocks themselves, then it was flipped and printed with a clear varnish showing the mirror image of their printed form.
Set and printed by hand in an edition of 200. Available to buy online from New North Press.
