Play with Brico was built by digital artist Jake Dubber in collaboration with design studio Split.

It is the digital face of Brico — a collaboration between Oli Bentley of design studio Split; designer, visual artist and printmaker Anthony Burill; and wood type maker, designer and printer Thomas Mayo.

Brico was originally created for the World Record-holding letterpress printing press, the People Powered Press. With near endless possibilities of letter forms, weights, sizes and styles, the system was created so that anyone might share in the joy of type design. It is used in it’s print form to create large-scale works and murals with community groups, extending the mission of the People Powered Press to amplify voices and spread words worth spreading. It can also be used to create designs using pattern and shape.

We’d love to see what you get up to. Share what you make with us using #PlayWithBrico.
