Based on a downloaded Bodoni Poster font, it was designed digitally by students using Illustrator, laser cut out of 3mm plywood by Cut Laser Cut in Vauxhall and mounted on type-high block by Stef Willis in the college workshop.

Between writing and type: the stencil letter
Just spotted an interesting exhibition in Antwerp next week:
"An exhibition of stencil letters from the 18th century to the present day. Assembled by Eric Kindel and Fred Smeijers, the exhibition will feature a rich selection of stencil letters in the context of artefacts, documents and ephemera, including stencil plates and stencilling devices, specimens and catalogues, patent inventions and much more. A highlight of the exhibition will be a set of new stencil typefaces designed by Maurice Göldner, Pierre Pané-Fauré and Fred Smeijers. "
