Designer's Notes

An experimental image font made using the University of Plymouth's unique letterpress workshop, developed by staff and students from the BA(Hons) Graphic Design course.

PlymouthPress uses bitmap images to render each glyph, meaning the textures present in the original prints have been retained, in a way that is not possible with traditional vector-based fonts.

The font employs OpenType scripting to automatically cycle through a range of alternate glyphs for each character, giving a random appearance as you type. Alternates can also be chosen manually in supported applications.
