For the Coffee Lover/Addict, or that special barista in your life?
Sit back and smell the coffee with this print. Have several cups and enter into a caffeine jittery ol-daze, and admire the infinite random negative spaces and shapes created through the typeface intersections. What can you spot? Especially fun are the silver cursive billowing steam-like drifts, as if emanating from the classic stove-top percolator,. The silver over printing is reminiscent of the scroll work on a wrought iron gate and the big black G, doubles as a directional arrow. Where will the next cup take you/us?
The full use of 2-colour woodtype, allows experimentation with unusual and less common overprint effects.
Made by hand using period 2-colour wood type from Delittle of York - 1920’s or earlier (Delittle No.36 & 304)- yep that’s right, over 100 year old and a similar aged advertising block of coffee percolator (maker unknown). Hand printed on a 1960’s Vandercook SP15 proofing press, weighing in at over 350kgs and shipped all the way from NZ to London though originally of Chicago manufacture.
