Begiaundi Press
From A to Z, without words.
An exhibition full of letters printed in typography, but not to be read. With more than six hundred characters, but without a single word
A—Z celebrates the 10th anniversary of Begiaundi Press, limited editions printed in letterpress, exploring their type collection made of plastic and wood, from 6 to 38 ciceros. Types that do not compose words, but are pure typographic architecture, where each letter looks for a way to express itself through its feature. Free typographic expressionism: Roman, Egyptian or geometric, condensed, extended, thin or bold.
The exhibition presents two series: nineteen compositions printed in two colors on letterpress with the typefaces of the collection of Begiaundi Press, and eight printed in one color, with wood types of 100 ciceros (45 cm), oming from Gráficas Mercurio of Bilbao, courtesy of Felipe Aurtenetxe and Elena Usabiaga.
