Julia Humfress

Julia began her career as a designer and art director for luxury brands such as Harrods and Condé Nast. Specialising in editorial design, she produced a range of consumer and corporate publications. Alongside her design work she set up the Wood Words Letterpress Studio which houses a collection of vintage wood type and printing presses.

Inspired by the collection she works with clients, organisations and fellow creatives on typographic commissions that bring letterpress into contemporary design and print. Using her extensive digital knowledge she is able to further manipulate and explore typography through this historic analogue process and has provided solutions for branding projects, surface designs, posters and stationery. Personal projects include a series of letterpress look books and type specimen books.

Julia also offers workshops in her studio at The Wimbledon Art Studios in SW19.
