Let it swim
I was at the St. Mark’s Bookshop the other day and found few types/type treatments I wanted to share.
This poster on the wall caught my eye. The End of Print. Love the type treatment. Looks like wood types…
There are a lot of hand-printed books in the shop, it’s awesome to look around. This book cover is 3-color letterpress printed.
and this book cover was really well letterpressed. (sorry for my iPhone quality photos..) Makes me want to work on a book cover…!
Happy Friday! :)
Love this Typography soap by soapylove. You can design your own by picking the color and the scent, too. Graphic touch in your bathroom or kitchen anyone?
At Kings County Holiday market yesterday, I met lovely Elana from Mélangerie — they have great products like Scratch and Sniff Holiday cards and To Have and To Hold tote bag (and much more!) but I especially love their Be Happy and Free Holiday Ornament Card! Great idea and great typography, and with that little hearts, I was sold.

and it is on my tree today! May all beings everywhere be happy and free! We could hang this by our door for everyone to see, too… or you could send as holiday cards.

Thank you, Elana, it was very nice meeting you! Hijiri
I was so happy to get to go to Letterpress Things after thanksgiving while we were in MA, that place is amazing! More photos soon, but I wanted to share this awesome poster — “When I get a little money, I buy type and presses and if any is left, I buy food & clothes” Love all the types, especially, the “TYPE” and “PRESSES” — beautiful!!
oh and the top poster that reads “This place is filled with Printing Junque” is so perfect for the shop I have nothing else to say.
With that in mind, I am off to my letterpress studio! Have a great day, everyone! xo Hijiri
