Congratulations [No. 1]

Congratulations [No. 1] is an exploration of the emotion type expresses when treated as abstract imagery. Each layer of type, using only the letters from the word “congratulations,” was composed and letterpress printed in reaction to the previous. The prints were produced on a Colt’s Armory platen press using wood type, metal type, and elements cut from re-purposed photopolymer plates.

Designed & letterpress printed on 100% cotton paper by Amy Redmond using wood type, metal type, and elements cut from re-purposed photopolymer plates on a Colt’s Armory platen press.
