Please watch the production video.

Letterpress printed type specimen for NN-Noire by the Swiss typefoundry Nouvelle Noire.

Their Typeface NN-Noire is an experiment on legibility of a very bold and organic typeface. Honestly, to me the typeface looked like spots at first. So what can I do, if the typeface I should advertise on a poster looks like Spots? I make them nice dots! Dalmatian-spots!

Letterpress printed in 3 print runs from hand cut linoleum, laser cut MDF and Ludlow slugs. 

Client: Nouvelle Noire, Basel

Format: 50×70cm
