Timeless Alphabets

You can find a world of inspiration in any of Julia Trigg’s collected letters. These playful compositions make a feature of the yellowed, textured papers and vivid inky letters that she’s gathered over the years. 

A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Julia is based in Brighton in the UK. She keeps her eye out for all types of ephemera for use in her work; old stamps, postcards, packaging and woodblock type.

Unlike many of her contemporaries that practice montage work with collected items, she finds herself unable to cut the letters up, preferring instead to scan everything. This not only avoids any of the items fading over time but has the added advantage of enabling her to adjust the scale and colour of the beautiful details.

If you like this style I bet you’d be interested in the lettering work of other illustrators in this area that have featured on Type Worship:

Martin O’Neill: Gifted fidget, and found alphabet

Greg Lamarche: Gorgeous type compositions here and here

Paul Thurlby: Alphabet and other lettering work

themightypencil: BE AWESOME. FOR MEES. Okay Tumblr, this is your chance to do something really awesome. The young man in the photo there is called Mees, he’s almost 2 years old, he lives in the Netherlands and he has cancer.   Mees has been so brave up to now, he has a tumour that has grown from his bottom, through his pelvis to his tummy.  Mees’ parents, Jan and Inge, are an amazing couple, full of positivity and love.  Mees has been having treatment at his local hospital for 2 months, Mees calls it his ‘second home’, his bed on wheels is a ‘car bed’ and all the tubes and wires attached to him are antennae, Mees likes to play robots. Things have gotten serious, and now Mees, Jan and Inge need to travel to the Florida Proton Institute in Jacksonville, Fl, USA for radiation treatment.  Medical insurance is covering a lot of expenses but we (that’s all of us Tumblr, for Mees) have to raise another 30,000 Euros to cover the rest and ensure that both Jan and Inge can travel with Mees. Mees’ father, Jan, is a member of our illustration collective The Mighty Pencil, so we have come together and launched a set of feelgood greetings cards, inspired by Mees, Jan and Inge. You can buy a pack of cards and, if you’re able, add a further donation to your order on our website. CLICK HERE TO BUY YOUR ‘WISHES FOR MEES’ GREETINGS CARDS! You can find further information on the foundation for Mees on FORMEES.NL.
