Alphabet of Sorts, a stunning full metal ornamental alphabet

You have to give credit to Jen Farrell. The principal designer and printer at Starshaped Press, a design studio that began in 1999 and specializes in the craft of letterpress, created a series of letterforms built entirely out of antique printers’ ornaments which were individually printed on notecards designed to be mixed and matched. In this “Alphabet of Sorts” each letter is composed of printers ornaments, arranged by hand and then letterpress printed. Created entirely with metal type this stunning project will have typophiles excited and ready to collect a limited edition artist book dedicated to it. In partnership with Wells College Press, this 6×9” “An Alphabet of Sorts” publication will be available this Spring and can be pre-ordered here.
