Typography Print

It was love at first sight when we came across this beautiful handmade British Isle Type Map print.

Made from 100% recycled card, each print is hand pulled in the UK and features the names of towns and cities throughout the UK in various sized bold type, depending on their size - of course our home town of Liverpool is on there quite prominently!

Each of these prints comes in classic slate grey and without a frame, but rest assured these prints fit into standard 'off the shelf' frames (print size 50cm x 70cm).

British Isles Type Map £45.00
