Contest Brief

We are opening a brewery and distillery in an old newspaper, printing and publishing building and would like our bar face to appear to be made of old letterpress blocks. Our vision is for a somewhat random mix of fonts, sizes, orientations, special characters with a few key words related to our project mixed in. Most letters should be reversed, but key words should still stand out. These panels/letters will be carved out of wood using a large format CNC router. Three faces are required but we can separated into manageable sized panels for carving if provided vector files. Face sizes are 3ft x 25ft, 3ft x 10ft, and 3ft x 3.5ft.

Images uploaded represent the look and feel we are going for and related font styles we like.

Variance in letters sizing and orientation should be random enough to make key words more of a hunt than the sense of reading the bar. Potential words can include:
Ardent Spirits
Herald
Tasty Beverage
Brew
Hops
Grain
Mash
Proof
Pint
Type
Edition
Daily
Headline
Post
Press
Caption
Byline
Newsprint
Barley
Draft
Draught
Paper
Scoop
Write
Ferment
Gin
Rum
Whiskey
Ale
Wort
Beer
Mill
Mash
Yeast
Still
Keg

hello, our vision is for the design to appear to be a collection of individual wood letterpress blocks rather than letterpress print. Thanks!

  Think as if you have a very large box of mixed size and font letterpress blocks to orient together and make a design from...
