Famous printer Benjamin Franklin once said that “the Nomadic Press knows how to print some tasty type based work.” Or wait, maybe he said something else. Yeah, it was something else that he said. Still …

Yellow. Bright yellow. It takes a bit of time to get the printing press clean enough to get such a bright color of ink to print right. But, yeah, it is so worth it.

Okay, let’s give some praise to Mathias Die, the company that made the cutting die for this piece. Lots of attention to detail makes this piece look fun and easy. The careful design brings out the magic.

Line art works wonderfully with the letterpress process and when mixed with a quirky typographic treatment the result can be stunning. A “happy new year” from someone who cares enough about you (as well as their own self image) enough to take the time to do things right.
