Late last year we launched Extra Condensed No.3, featuring articles from the greats of design and type, including an interview with Astrid Stavro. We’ve now put this Q&A on our journal, so you can have a read at your leisure 👀 thecounterpress.co.uk/journal/q-and-…

Lovely to be asked to talk at TurnUp last night and share the stage with some great creative folk: @Meticulous_Ink Dan Anderson Tobias Newbigin

We’re having a spring clean, and so a spring print sale. If you’re wanting some new limited letterpress artwork for your walls, now is your chance! thecounterpress.co.uk/shop

We’re thrilled that Extra Condensed No.3 has been shortlisted at D&AD It’s in great company, with some wonderful magazines and newspapers, but it’s probably the only one that has been letterpress printed!

Hot on the heels of the D&AD shortlist, Extra Condensed No.3 has also been given an honourable mention in the Creative Review Annual Awards. 🎉

We recently gave a talk for the Wynkyn de Worde Society and had some fun creating a keepsake to go with it based on collective nouns. See more on our journal: thecounterpress.co.uk/journal/a-coll…

A Collection of Collective Nouns was a follow up to A Gathering of Gatherings, where we used wood type to have some fun with collective nouns. See more here : thecounterpress.co.uk/publications/g…

This is such a great festival of design! We only managed to catch the final day, and there was so much more to see, but here are some of the things we loved.

New print in the planning… with some massive wood type! — #woodtype #letterpress

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get (recyclable) presentation boards printed & mounted in London these days?

Just rediscovered the wood type from Extra Condensed still in the galley rack. Still some copies available, if you want to read some great articles printed letterpress. And who doesn’t?! thecounterpress.co.uk/publications/e…

New print in aid of Cancer Research! Pre-order is now open. Go grab one for a great cause! thecounterpress.co.uk/shop/p/enjoy-t…

Secret’s out! Here is our sleeve for Secret 7'' / War Child UK We chose to create a cover for The Specials We Sell Hope. A giant bar code, and number-letter cypher spelling out HOPE, letterpress printed by hand, with a pop of neon inside. See more thecounterpress.co.uk/artwork/secret…

New type and a new print! We’ve always been missing a fat face serif in wood type—so @PauloBarnesi created one for us, Type High Design cut it, and we printed some nonsense with it. See more on our website: thecounterpress.co.uk/artwork/isamba…

New work for hat maker Awon Golding. Awon’s creations have graced the heads of global icons, but the brand needed a glow up to compliment the hats. We designed an elegant & joyful visual identity inspired by the hats, with a playful tone of voice. Topped off with a new logo.

We had fun with the language for our rebrand of Awon Golding, which suited the people wearing the hats. See more on our website: counterstudio.co.uk/work/awon-gold…
