This is keepsake No. 11 in a series.

Printed on the Vandercook handpress.

Paper: Curtis Colophon Text, 100 lb. and Fabriano for the cover. Type: Standard light with Walbaum.

Six double-sided folded prints in a titled cover.

Colophon: This collection of six sheets with twelve circular motifs is based on a theme of typographic exploration; letters not to be read, but shapes and forms to speak their own language. Not regimented or programmed groups of words or sentences, just arrangement of values, shades, lines - full of mood and color. Folding along the indicated scores, each page can be divided into four equal sections, allowing several combinations of one sheet plus any number of arrangements with different units. Considering three-dimensional possibilities, the number of variations is almost unlimited.
