  • I conceived & created the PRINTERS’ TAROT beginning in November 2017. In a true moment of flow, I designed almost the entire Major Arcana in one sitting. As a student of letterpress printing, I have a deep love of letterforms and a belief that typography is simply full of magic. This 78-card black and white tarot deck is designed entirely using letterforms to create images. None of the letters were distorted to make the images; they were merely manipulated in space and layered… . The face cards depart from the traditional and are instead made up of novices, apprentices, journeymen, and master printers. It seemed only right to celebrate the skill, trade, and craft of letterpress printing as part of a deck that is so wildly enamored with typography.
