New the the archive. A series of 31 numeral sheets for Roland Printers designed by Klaus Winter and Helmut Bischoff in 1959. All loose sheets with cover.

This week saw the mighty arrival of around 200 issues of Typografia. A Czech journal focused on typography and printing, published from 1888 to 2014. I’ve mainly got issues from the 1950s - 1980s. Here’s four from my collection.

Also framed this beauty !

Finally getting round to framing some of my favourite posters from the collection.

Amazon should add an exclude Temu products switcher on search. So many things I see on children’s toys are the same but triple the price.

Lovely little addition. A stamp album rammed full of Mexico 1968 mint stamps.

The latest eleven magazines in the archive include a few Gebrauchsgraphik from the 30s, two issues of the Czech journal, Typografia, the first issue of City Limits designed by David King and five issues of Typographische Jahrbucher from 1906-1908.

Has anyone got any of these issues of Gebrauchsgraphik for sale, looking to get closer to a full set this year?

It’s being a busy few weeks both with studio work and archive work. Inspiring designers and students from #Copenhagen to #Düsseldorf. It was such a pleasure today to have students over for a ‘flying’ visit and continually bring out more and more items from the archive.

First thing I someone’s says to me in Copenhagen is the passport dude saying “ahhhh Bradford. Famous for speeding, yes?” 😅
