Baby ink twice: Letterpress posters by Dafi Kühne
HMCT Gallery, 2021


Baby ink twice is an exhibition of posters designed by Swiss graphic designer and letterpress printer Dafi Kühne. Along with digital means, Dafi fuses modern means with the century-old tradition of letterpress printing. He creates a new vocabulary for communicating through type and form in a truly contemporary way. Never retro, his work is a clever response to the search for new possibilities of graphic expression.
