'Hatch' (3- Pack)
A collaboration between Field Notes and Hatch, Nashville’s legendary letterpress print shop that was founded in 1879 and remains the living heartbeat of classic American poster design.
Based on a three-poster public service campaign about effective poster design, named Pressing Issues: A Series on Ink, Paper, and Muscle, that, after finished, were cut up into covers for Memo Books.
The covers are on Domtar Cougar 100-lb white cover stock with a brute-force application of a variety of hand-mixed Kennedy oil-based inks, including "Just About Pantone 637." The body pages are rules in light blue on a smooth 60-lb text stock from Finch.
