A new (old) product

Here's something I've wanted to put together for a long time and finally made it happen yesterday. I call them a "Lettermix" and the package contains an assortment of woodtype letters, numbers and punctuation. They make a great gift for those typographically-inclined. There are just three sets left, available in our physical store. If they happen to be left by the end of the weekend, I'll upload them to the online shop as well.

The label is designed using Hoefler & Frere-Jones' typeface Knockout, which I purchased in its entirety this week. It was a total splurge, but I needed an infusion of typographical energy!

UPDATE: We are thrilled to be mentioned on H&JF's News, Notes & Observations Typographic Gifts for Designers. I've uploaded the one remaining set to the online shop. (If you are purchasing Christmas gifts, please check the shipping deadlines on the shop's front page.)

Janine, can I ask where you sourced the original woodtype? I’m assuming that it didn’t come from somewhere locally. I’m been collecting bits and pieces of moveable type for years, but some of those lighter weight numerals have never crossed my path. Beautiful, tactile stuff.

Any chance these made it to the online store? I'd love to order one (maybe all three!) as a gift for my husband.

Janine, these are fantastic!! I love how you have packaged them and accented the pieces perfectly with the typeography.

Hi Janine,

These are terrific -- and thanks for using our fonts for the packaging! I couldn't resist mentioning this on our site:

People think that the analytical essay composing supposes the really time wasting thing. But, people rely on the <a href="http://quality-papers.com/topics/communication_and_media_essays">media essay writing</a> service help anytime when that is demanded.
