Anthropologie + Hatch Show Print

Anthropologie has a catalog out right now that is so special. For their music-themed issue, they have collaborated with Hatch Show Print (!) and what they have done is really inspiring, I had to take pictures and share some of the pages/elements here. I’m sure all the letters are hand-set and hand printed by Hatch Show Print with their awesome collections of wood types and hand-curved letters and images… simply amazing.

The cover. I love the big bold types that are overlapping at each other. Pretty color combination!

The back. How fun! “resonate” “collaborate” – I’d love to try setting types like that someday… Very nice.

Again, these typesettings are making me go crazy! You see things like this throughout the catalog.

There are a lot more lovely images, types, atomosphere… along with great anthropologie goods in the catalog, if you haven’t already, please check it out.

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope this inspires your day! :)

Wine Bar Window Display

In my neighborhood, Park Slope Brooklyn, 491 Six Wine Bar is coming Fall 2009. How did I find out? I walked by their window, the display caught my eye… and that’s how I found out. I thought it was very interesting: lots of artsy buildings and a typewriter. A message typed on…
