We created a custom type inspired by the unique shapes found in fungal networks. The letterforms were developed by looking at exploding contour shapes found in popcorn and using the surface of a variety of mushrooms to create relief textures.

Risograph print for 'Nutrient Market' an exhibition by Gregory Herbert at @___CBS , Liverpool opening Friday 6th August.

Herbert worked with @AnnaSouter on a newly commissioned text which is on the reverse of the print.
Delighted to have worked on this. https://t.co/wfcASiWzro

@___CBS @AnnaSouter Herbert's exhibition 'Nutrient Market' explores myco-heterotrophy, a type of plant that has learnt to cheat the system. Instead of photosynthesising, it draws energy and nutrients from nearby plants via a shared mycorrhizal fungal network.

We are likely closer to the beginning of QAnon's story than the end, writes @AdrienneLaF. "To look at QAnon is to see not just a conspiracy theory but the birth of a new religion." https://t.co/a7KlVKwKaI

@gabrielledlp Ease in really slow and short distances. After a few weeks your legs and knees will be stronger and it should be much easier.
