New North Press
'A23D Specimen Poster – Green'

Situated just a few minutes from the gallery, no one showcases the beauty of traditionally crafted Letterpress better than New North Press- Richard Ardagh, Graham Bignell & Beatrice Bless. The components and techniques of print making at their Coronet Street studio have remained virtually unchanged for centuries; and it is this traditional craftsmanship, coupled with the poetry and rhyme of our beloved East End which combine to produce truly magical and timeless artworks.

Designed by Scott Williams and Henrik Kubel of A2-Type, these specimen posters are the first use of ‘A23D’, New North Press’ 3D-printed letterpress font, which they designed. This series of four posters (A, 2, 3 & D) combine both digital and analogue processes. The large wireframe letters that appear in black as a background are digital artwork, printed offset, and the alphabet specimen is overprinted letterpress using the 3D-printed font in fluorescent inks. Edition of 200 (50 of each colour)
