Morris' Code

Composed in the round & upside-down using handset metal type overtop a vintage halftone image of an unidentified, lab-coat wearing, presumable man of science — let's call him Morris — who clearly demands order in life. Type aficionados will notice the use of the comically difficult "Flash" typeface, used to create the circle of chaos around Morris' head (& to justify it taking up space in the type cabinet).

Text: "It was only upon embracing the chaos that Morris gained composure."

Written, designed & letterpress printed by Amy Redmond in a limited edition using a Colt’s Armory platen press. Ships flat.
