Field Notes – NOTEBOOK – Hatch 3 Pack

Description

Nashville’s legendary letterpress print shop was founded by the brothers Hatch in 1879 and remains the living heartbeat of classic American poster design. For many years, they’ve found ways to recombine their enormous archive of historic images and type in ways that always seem fresh and vibrant, but also timeless.

Field Notes and Hatch partnered in creating a three-poster public service campaign about effective poster design named “Pressing Issues: A Series on Ink, Paper, and Muscle.” They then cut up these three finished posters into covers for our Fall Memo Books.

Each poster yielded six covers and Field Notes’ included one book from each poster in the 3-Packs.  As a result of that, and the natural variations in letterpress printing, there’s a ton of variety in the run.
