The New Typography Workshop Broadside #14

As a student of the Late Summer School I spent time with fellow student James Isaacs learning and developing skills letterpress typesetting and printing. Conceived & directed by leading typographic practitioner Kelvyn Smith & letterpress maestro Alan Kitching: The New Typography Workshop is a new – hands-on – school of design & typography with letterpress at its core.

Joined by consultant Jim Sutherland for the duration we set-about designing what was to become ‘Broadside 14 as a response to Jim & Kelvyn discussing manifestos & seeing the original by John Cage. After investigation it was discovered that Cage was influenced directly by the artist & educator Sister Corita Kent who had conceived the ‘manifesto’ as a college project in LA in 1967–68.

The A1 Broadside was designed set & printed across five days in a very limited edition of 30 on a 145gsm Heritage paper & printed in three colours / a very Dark Grey (a Silver & Black mix) / Silver (PMS 877) & a fluorescent Orange & (both straight from the tin).

This limited edition print is available to purchase direct from The New Typography Workshop
