Holywell Press design and print an exhibition catalogue for The Fan Museum in Greenwich, London

Holywell were very pleased to be asked by The Fan Museum in London to design and print the catalogue for their recent exhibition, ‘Early Printed Fans’.  We worked closely with the curator and director of the museum on this project to achieve preciesly what they wanted, producing several rounds of colour proofs.

The deadline for the catalogue was particularly tight but Holywell were able to rise to the challenge, eventually delivering the catalogues ourselves to Greenwhich to make sure they were in the museum’s shop in time for the exhibition opening.

The catalogue was not only printed by Holywell Press but also designed and laid out in our studio. As befits a catalogue of early printed fans, the studio took inspiration from eighteenth-century typography. The typeface chosen was Fournier, a modern revival of a typeface by Parisian typefounder Pierre-Simon Fournier from around the 1740s. We used Fournier in combination with a version of Bodoni for the titles.
