During last 3 years I have added several wood and metal letterpress type sets to my collection. They are featuring in numerous pictures in my stock portfolio: words, phrases, slogans, proverbs, questions, typography abstracts. They are also used in custom projects.
Some type sets are more than 100 years old and have a lot of character: scratches, dents, stains. Wood printing blocks have beautiful ink patina.
I have prepared several images of alphabet and number sets isolated on white. Each printing block is shot separately (usually a top view) and then a collage of 26 alphabet letters or 10 digits is created. So, they can be used to create any flat text or numbers. I should point out that I shoot my words, logos and phrases in a somewhat different style – at certain angle to show sides of printing blocks which gives more 3-dimensional effect.
The files for alphabet and number sets are much larger than other pictures. I am offering them at the same price, but only in large sizes and the price for the original size picture is higher.
