‘The Story’ of the  DUNGENESS FONT - RX12 

By Bridget Wilkins - (22nd September 2023)

Let’s talk t-shirts! Less than two weeks ago Paddy (aka @dungenessopenstudios) and I were chatting about his Dungeness Font. It was originally inspired by the For Sale boards selling bait or lug etc. on the beach, which were painted in capital letters. Paddy had wanted to celebrate that clear and authentic voice so he created a font in individual linocuts. So that’s all the letters of the alphabet, punctuation, numerals and the odd skull and crossbones carved in lino, then printed, each with the correct kerning. I mean, it took months to make. The resulting font was then digitalised by Andy Sullivan and is available as a download under a Creative Commons licence — this means only Paddy can use it commercially. ANYWAY, the printed linocut font artworks sell in the studios but they are big (usually nine letters in blocks of three), so quite niche. There has been some renewed interest in the font recently and we realised we should make better use of the digital version, so … I found a print-on-demand t-shirt supplier and sent across some designs, and we waited for delivery. The results were outstanding. The font looks incredible on shirts, and on mugs and tote bags! Paddy put up some posts online and suddenly we were inundated with orders! It’s been a bit crazy to be honest! We set up a shop in the blog — link in the bio of @dungeness_studio4 — and we are adding new designs and ideas. We will also offer bespoke t-shirts for a small design fee. They are super comfortable and soft to wear and they do not have itchy labels, which is a real bugbear of mine! As I have said, we are not making these in a back room ourselves, we have a supplier (@tshirtstudiocom) and when you place an order, you do so direct with them. That said, we will have some stock here for people visiting the studios and if we don’t have your size, we can place an order for you that will be sent to your home address.
