As admirers of letterpress printing—and of these who endeavor to keep the artwork kind alive—we have been pleased to see this Kickstarter task by Toronto’s Letterpress Shoppe. The Colourful Letterpress Desk Calendar is comprised of a set of 12 a hundred% cotton cards, each letterpress-printed with a exclusive illustration and color, and displayed on a hand crafted maple stand.
Painstakingly and meticulously inked, registered and printed on a vintage Platen press, each and every single illustration adheres to a template of geometric and month-specific organic types, superbly balanced with clean typography—and expressed in a range of nuanced season-invoking colors.
It’s risk-free to say that this is a 2014 calendar that won’t quite simply be discarded following 2014 has come and gone. And if Letterpress Shoppe’s nostalgic little video doesn’t make printing fans Colourful converts, virtually nothing at all will.
