    Reverting to Type

    Reverting to Type is a font of words of wisdom. Words of wisdom in great fonts, in fact - because this is an exhibition I a showcase of contemporary letterpress practitioners, all showing how an ancient craft can still be relevant, beautiful and wall-worthy in the digital age. For anyone who didn't manage to catch the exhibition in the snowy run up to Christmas, it is well worth making the resolution to visit and shop for its second leg this month.

     

    Curated by Graham Bignell of New North Press and graphic designer Richard Ardagh, the show in the Standpoint Gallery off Hoxton Square highlights the current resurgence of interest in handprinted type, through prints, posters, cards and publications most of which are for sale. Pick up a daily reminder from Hi Artz Press that 'London It's Near Paris Ain't It" or just relish in the inky words as they spell out, in Hand & Eye's case treasures like "Awopbopbaloopop". Mr Smith, another favourite, reminds us that Letterpress Isn't Just For Christmas, which of course by now we know.

    Present & Correct Pop Up Stationary Shop

    Because doing your homework is key to getting good Christmas presents, and because a desk job has never been so appealing, thanks to the existence of gorgeous online stationer Present & Correct. Encouraging everyone to be a swot and get their Christmas shopping done early and all at once, from 4 to 21 December proprietor Neal Whittington is opening his first ever pop-up shop at House of Propellers in London's Clerkenwell.

    Whittington has transformed the gallery into a festive vintage school classroom - he's put in a tree, replete with candy cane decorations, as well as school desks and blackboard. Like on his website www.presentandcorrect.com both new and vintage items are on on sale, sourced from around the world and including beautiful old Olivetti typewriters, rare and out-of-print books and posters, and original designs from Bruno Munari, Charley Harper and Ken Garland. You will even be able to write and post your Christmas cards via the special Present & Correct Christmas post box. Top marks and a gold star for Whittington then.
