Y Letterpress Print Designed by Henrique Nardi
 
"My Big Y draws inspiration from an Egyptian Expanded Bold wood type, straight from Alan Kitching’s A–Z book. Its 45-degree diagonal lines were a perfect match for LEGO® building blocks. While experimenting with overprint ideas, I saw an opportunity to give the Big Y its three-dimensional qualities. Then came the arrow-shaped counter—it took on a life of its own, inviting its buddies into the conversation. The result? A playful nod to the simplicity of Brazilian multimedia artist and illustrator Guto Lacaz. Is that a mouth or a mustache? We may never know."
 
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.
