Letterpress
Every year since 2011, I’ve been creating a letterpress-printed calendar. Each edition features the work of 13 designers from around the world, each contributing one page with a quote or phrase that inspires them. The calendar is printed in France in collaboration with Studio Pression, where every single page is printed on century-old machines and hand-finished with great care.
Alongside the calendar, I’ve also created a series of posters — all celebrating the tactile beauty and timeless craft of letterpress printing.
