I am a big fan of printing processes and experimenting with them, I’ve done research on their associated psychological response and I believe each process should be chosen in response to the brief.
With the same concept, Underware, the design collective author of fabulous typefaces, managed to ‘manufacture’ blood offset ink. For the sampler of their typeface Fakir, a book on the theme of voluntary suffering, The book of war, written byRuud Linssen, will be printed with the author’s blood.
A brilliant, concept and execution!
