"typographic manifesto, in short." was printed with 4 runs on a Reprex Proofing Press. The manifesto reads: Typography expresses. Typography inspires. Typography wows. It is important for an artist & designer, like myself, to be able to speak about our philosophy relating to design—this is a short, abridged version of my design philosophies.

To achieve the negative space on the large "T," a series of letterforms were meticulously cut and placed on the wooden type for each print. The paper used for the letterforms was thin enough to not leave a lasting impression on the wooden form, which allows me to use the from again for other projects.. The design was printed as an edition of 5.
