W Letterpress Print Designed by Jennifer Wandro
 
"The letter W arrived late to the Latin alphabet, emerging from Anglo-Saxon, Old English, and runic languages, originally written as uu and later as two interlocked Vs. Early printing presses often used the UU block due to availability and structural stability, later influencing the letter’s evolving shape. The letterform design for this project blends ornate Old English and calligraphic Blackletter styles with contemporary geometry, layering historic and modern elements. With the intent to pay tribute to the W’s origins while visually exploring its transformation through writing and printing history."
 
This individual unnumbered letterpress print was created for the edition A2Z: Learning Through Lego© and Letterforms by Pedro Neves, Amira Hegazy and Shannon Morrissey.  This edition was printed on a Vandercook Universal I. An extremely limited amount of individual prints are available.
