Ink on paper

Signed on the front.

DCBA is a contemporary take on the traditional type specimen sheet – a printed document detailing a complete typeface. These were generally used by designers and typographers to examine how a font behaves on the printed page. This example depicts an antique 16 line (192 point / 2.6”) bold condensed font. This is the first print in the series of 16-line condensed fonts (also see Lipsum and Zero).

The overprinted inks reveal interesting variations in colour and density, whilst alluring textures are achieved from the ribbed, laid paper.

The print is created on high quality 220gsm Classic Laid paper.

A limited edition run of 14 prints were produced. Each print is unique in both style and layout.

These letterpress posters has been hand inked and printed. They are individually signed, numbered and embossed. All posters will be carefully wrapped in tissue paper and shipped in a cardboard tube.
