Œ Adventures

March 6, 2015

Have you ever wondered what to do with Œ, Æ ligatures, covered in dust in your type cabinet drawers? Rachel Marsh from Semple Press came up with a wonderful idea of “Œ Adventures” book. Almost every part of the adventures was created using type as image and each page is printed on different paper. Here is a small selection of the adventures that the Œ ligatures enjoy in this book. 

The full narrative is as follows:
It started with an outbreak of jellyfish 
Followed by high jinks at Hallowe'en
Things got rather sordid during The Game of Thrones
But they were flying high at the music festival
FIVE - FOUR - THREE - TWO - ONE
Time for a sandcastle contest 
and then a game of hide and seek
All too soon it was GAME OVER!

A few copies will be available at BABE, the Book Arts fair in Bristol held at Arnolfini in April 2015.
