We adore these Vintage Alphabet Stamps from chic San Francisco publisher Chronicle Books. The broad, distinctive typeface is Breite Italienne, a rare nineteenth-century font from the typography collection of Redstone Press.
The kits have only been on the market for a few weeks, but are already flying off the shelves. We stumbled across them on the fabulous Turntable Lab web site, but you can also get them from Amazon for around NZ$40 including delivery. Or try these Australian online bookshops.
Chronicle Books is the creator of restroom staple The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook, the million-selling kids’ book Mama, Do You Love Me, and the genre-busting card-based Yoga Deck.
We’ll wager that they’ve got another hit on their hands here.
