ABOUT

Jennifer Farrell

Together with Richard Kegler (P22 Type Foundry), Jennifer Farrell of Starshaped Press (Chicago, IL) created P22 Blox (2015). They write: In 1944, American Type Founders (ATF) introduced Alpha-Blox, an impressive system of both solid and linear shapes that could be combined to create all manner of typefaces, ornament and pattern in 1- or 2-colors. The design possibilities were endless and limited only to the imagination of the printer/designer. [...] P22 Blox is a set of modular letterpress printing blocks made from space age material... plastic!.

All work in the Starhaped Press studio is done with metal and wood type, making Starshaped one of the few presses in the United States producing commercial work while preserving antique type and related print materials.
