A Typographic Map . . .
‘Working in Bruton 2023’ was designed / set & printed in the letterpress workshop by the students on ‘The Early Summer School’ — a four-day workshop in July
Each year we undertake two Summer Schools —
(early & late) & a few one & two-day classes
This simple graphic idea — concentrating on Bruton High Street — conveys the various trades & professions /
Different fonts aim to express different activities
It works as a specimen of typefaces / but hopefully captures the energy of a small working town /
roads / paths / bartons & bridges are all kept as negative space / there’s even a nod to the stepping stones on the River Brue.
