It’s an embossed typographic object — the complete alphabet from A to Z, designed by James Thompson in the spirit of the De Stijl movement of Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg (Leiden, 1917), letterpress-stamped by Granja Grafica in Barcelona on a Korrex Berlin cylinder press. The paper: Fedrigoni Materica Gesso, FSC®-certified, 360 g. The letters are not printed — they are embossed into the paper. The poster changes under shifting light: it morphs, it lives, it is never quite the same twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-highlight\"\u003eTypography Poster · De Stijl · Beamalevich · Letterpress · Fedrigoni Materica Gesso · 70 × 48 cm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eThe gift for everyone who understands typography as art\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou’re looking for a poster for someone who finds a mass-market art print too little — but can’t buy an original Mondrian either? That’s exactly where this poster belongs. James Thompson — a Global Arts \u0026amp; Design student at Texas A\u0026amp;M University in College Station, just 18 years old when he designed this — created a complete A-to-Z alphabet in the spirit of Neoplasticism: each letter a geometric construction, every form reduced to primary elements, every line deliberately placed. Granja Grafica in Barcelona handled the letterpress printing on a Korrex Berlin cylinder press, mechanically embossing the letters into 360 g Fedrigoni paper — each character has relief, depth, physical presence. The result doesn’t just hang on the wall. It’s there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eHow the poster was made — and why it stands out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eLetterpress is not a mass-production printing process. The Korrex Berlin cylinder press — a precision instrument of classical letterpress printing — embosses under pressure: each letter is mechanically pressed into the paper surface, creating a three-dimensional indentation that is both visible and tangible. The Fedrigoni Materica Gesso paper at 360 g is heavy enough to hold the embossing without tearing — and has a surface that catches light in a unique way. Packed in a specially designed cylinder box — not a cheap plastic sleeve, but a gift that impresses even before it’s opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"cm-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBeamalevich\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJames Thompson\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eInspiration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDe Stijl \/ Neoplasticism (Mondrian \u0026amp; van Doesburg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePrinting technique\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLetterpress, Korrex Berlin cylinder press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePrinter\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGranja Grafica, Barcelona\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePaper\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFedrigoni Materica Gesso, FSC®, 360 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eEmbossed (relief embossing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e70 × 48 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCylinder box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBarcelona, Spain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhat makes this poster special — isn’t it just an art print?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The De Stijl A-to-Z Typography Poster is not printed but embossed: Granja Grafica in Barcelona mechanically pressed the letters into FSC-certified Fedrigoni Materica Gesso paper (360 g) on a Korrex Berlin cylinder press.

His artistic influences include Cy Twombly, Piet Mondrian, Robert Rauschenberg and Barnett Newman. The alphabet combines De Stijl geometry with a rune-like, almost metallic formal language that treats all 26 letters as independent compositional objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does “embossed” mean exactly — is it visible from a distance too?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eThe embossing (letterpress relief embossing) means the letters were mechanically pressed into the paper under pressure. Up close, the indentations are clearly tangible. From a distance, they shift with the light: under raking light the letters stand out strongly; under frontal lighting the poster appears flatter. This is not a flaw — it’s the point.

James Thompson — then an 18-year-old student at Texas A\u0026amp;M University, College Station, influenced by Cy Twombly, Mondrian, Robert Rauschenberg and Barnett Newman — designed an alphabet that translates the De Stijl geometry of Neoplasticism, reduction to primary elements and strict horizontal–vertical composition into letterforms.
