ABOUT

Heckhouse [Bethany Heck]

Graduate of Auburn University, AL, class of 2020. Multidisciplinary designer and writer who specializes in wood type, letterpress and 19th century type. She assisted David Jonathan Ross in the design of Job Clarendon (2021), and wrote: Job Clarendon is an homage to job printing---display-heavy designs made for posters and flyers in the heyday of letterpress printing. This style of Clarendons was wildly popular in this genre of work, and I've always been interested in how adaptable they were. The style was fattened, squished and stretched to accommodate lines of text both short and long and type foundries across the globe each found their own unique features to contribute to the Clarendon stew. Ross pulled the design to both extremes but had his work cut out as he explains: The chasm between Hairline and Black was far too wide to interpolate across effectively, so I incorporated new drawings in the Extra Light, Regular, and Bold weights to act as additional tentposts to support the design.
