Lovely post, thanks. An imaginative combination of copy and design. Who says that print is dead?

Some nice work – it's just a shame it's been associated with an antiquated technology – surely the whole point is that letterpress is still relevant today and not consigned to the past as the cassette tape has been.

Very nice, like the fact that the illustrative styles are quite different but it all still hangs together really well, good work Kerr

Very cool work, but not really "letterpress".

Well, unless the meaning of the word continues to erode, in which case die cutting, foil-stamping, and ostensibly other "trade operations" in addition to printing from plastic plates are taking on the mantle of Letterpress with capital l.

With all due respect to the creative team, and the press operators/finishers, letterpress is done from letters, and specifically, hot metal types. Everything else is simply relief printing with varying degrees of *wow* attached.

Great work, you can't beat letterpress. I've recently had our business cards letterpress printed and it gives such a different dimension to the design. It makes any print work much more tactile and interesting.

Looks amazing, I miss playing with letterpress and I just can't get my hand presses to make things as clean and beautiful as these... great work

Great work. Big fan of letterpress, and so very jealous of the brief!
