THANKS is a chromatic composition that reimagines glyphs as building blocks for new letterforms. The handset metal and wood type is composed as two separate forms, each void of meaning until one is overprinted upon the other and the message is revealed. The color combinations were chosen for their ability to simultaneously unify the design and reveal its underlaying structure.

This edition, printed in two sets of colors, was letterpress printed on a Colt's Armory platen press. It has inspired the creation of a full alphabet in this style, whose development is almost complete.

Letterpress printed from wood and metal type.
