Ink on Paper

Mark Van Wageningen

Mark van Wageningen is the founder of Novo Typo, a (typo)graphic design studio and font foundry in Amsterdam. In January 2015, Mark started the Typewood project, a research project about designing, deconstructing, and transforming multicolored digital typefaces into wooden type for letterpress.

The prints in Ink on Paper are part of the Novo Typo Offgrid project (started on January 2020). This project is a continuation of the Typewood and the Type and Color project. If a designer can design his own multicolored letters, publish his books, print his own work, he also should be able to produce his own paper. These prints are made from recycled paperpulp originally from the collected print-leftovers of earlier projects such as Typewood (2016), Novo Typo Color Book (2017) and Type and Color (2019). The paperpulp is mixed, on a 50/50 base, with original sawdust woodpulp from Amsterdam grown poplar trees. This makes it original ‘Novo Typo Amsterdam’ handmade paper which makes every sheet unique.
