Made using a large wooden Number 1 (315mm tall). Reverse/Cameo Text fills the stem of the Number, (red overprinted by black), giving a lovely layering of ink and contrasting textures. Inspired by much smaller old bookmakers metal type which featured the numbers with their values spelt out within the stroke of the number, presumably to stop a number 6 being palmed off as a nine. Who or what is your number 1?

Hooksmith Press

Leytonstone, london

Typographic prints made lovingly by hand, using age old and rare letterpress equipment from the vast and revered Hooksmith Press collection–some nearing 200 years old.

The wordsmithing is as varied as the typefaces. Hooksmith Press produces both solely text-based prints, and text accompanied by imagery (from antique advertising/pictorial plates and bold colour blocks and borders). Subjects range from, fun poetic-witticisms, nostalgic & contemporary observations/sage advice or the just plain obtuse.
