Modern Wood Type
In a process moving from digital to manual, these beautiful
woodblocks have been designed in Illustrator, laser cut, and then printed
by hand. Produced by Nigel Bents, Paul Oakley and Jonny Holmes while at
Chelsea College of Art & Design in London, the characters were based
on a Bodoni poster typeface. The extreme stroke contrast has been used
to house these playful decorative patterns.
The letters were cut from 3mm plywood then mounted on type-high blocks before letterpress printing at New North Press in Hoxton.
