To coincide with David King: The World Must Change exhibition Standpoint Gallery we’re running poster workshops on Saturday 15 October. Participants will respond to the show’s title, using our woodtype to add their protest lines to posters. new-north-press.co.uk/the-world-must…

Last day of David King: The World Must Change exhibition Standpoint Gallery today. Almost 400 students have visited the show and come upstairs to see NNP. Hoping that King’s powerful work, our tours and poster workshops will encourage a new generation of designer activists!

A beautiful book featuring the treasures of the Type Archive’s collections is in the works. ‘Type Archived’ traces the origins of typography through the physical tools, objects and machinery that made the printed word possible. Pledge for your copy tinyurl.com/mry4nvdt

The Type Archive was a complicated place but it was a simple observation from a guest that inspired the organisation of the book’s contents. He commented that it was interesting to see how many materials a letter design passed through on its journey to the printed page.

It was a privilege that Philip Sayer, whose photography I’ve admired for years, agreed to document the Type Archive before its closure. His rich images really capture the atmosphere and are a huge asset to the book. ‘Type Archived’ 70% funded Volume tinyurl.com/mry4nvdt

This wasn’t new territory for Phil, who had visited Robert DeLittle’s wood letter factory in the mid-1970s. These photos were commissioned John McConnell of Face Photosetting for a small booklet announcing the licensing of some of DeLittle’s fonts. tinyurl.com/mry4nvdt

The Type Archive’s collections held materials to make printing types for most languages of the world. Examples pictured: ‘Ethiopic’ (Ge’ez) punch, Devanagari pattern, Tamil wood letter and Cyrillic button bank. ‘Type Archived’ is now 78% funded tinyurl.com/mry4nvdt

‘Type Archived’ is now fully funded – thank you! HUGE thanks to everyone who has supported the project and all those who helped spread the word.
