Occasional Print Club

By faber. | Published: August 14, 2009

I’ve been following Justin Knopp’s blog at Typoretum for quite a while and enjoying his regular posts about the art of letterpress.  He and a bunch of pals across the pond regularly convene the Occasional Print Club (a brilliant idea by the way) where a bunch of letterpress and typophiles get together on an ‘occasional’ basis and produce a letterpress poster for fun.  This edition “I am the Leaden Army” is a beautiful experimental collage of type and a helluva quote from type master F.W. Goudy.  More pics of the OPC work on flickr.

Typoretum also features the very popular What Face Wednesday, which usually keeps me completely unproductive for a good chunk of my Wednesday mornings.  I won the contest a month or so back, and received an amazing (and quite funny) hand-typeset poster printed on Justin’s ornate Columbian hand press.  I can’t wait to finish unpacking my house so I can finally put this one up.  Thanks!

  • Hello

    I’m Michael Faber, a freelance graphic designer in Durham, North Carolina with an interest in print design, branding, typography, photography, dogs, cooking, letterpress, and a bunch of other goodness. I love talking design so if you have a project in mind or just want to chat about the relative merits of postmodernist typography or traditional Southern cuisine (I’m a Western NC barbeque guy - please don’t hold it against me), feel free to contact me.
