Etsy Love: Bunker Type
As a lot of you know from past posts I’ve written, like this one For the love of letterpress, and my pinterest board by the same name, I LOVE letterpress. There is nothing quite like that beautiful traditional print technique. I’m a very tactile person so I think a lot of the appeal is the texture that the printing blocks creates that I love the most.
I’m also a bit of a Typography nerd. Nothing better than a nicely formed letterform. ahh…
Anyway, the point of this rambling is… Today I found the most amazing Etsy store!
BunkerType is awesome. Jesús Morentin is from Spain. He’s come from a family of printers and graphic designers so it’s not surprising he has such a great understanding of Type as not only letter forms but Type as art.
Not only do I LOVE his designs but from a marketing perspective I think he’s nailed it.
The main thing we all know (but sometimes struggle with) when selling and promoting items on Etsy is that people aren’t buying the item, they are buying it’s story. People want to see the process that goes into the piece being made. That’s what Jesús does. His listings show the piece you are buying but it also shows photos of the piece being made. So brilliant!
