This project is an examination of different aesthetic and material ways to play with letterpress printing techniques of fraktur typefaces. This particular piece is in aluminium, and is a sculptural variation on typical letterpress printing blocks. The motif is composed of rows of the 'ch' letter. www.jonasdehnen.com
