(Text) 'We've just put together two glittering new, rather unusual albums of our type faces. Over 200 pages in all. We're asking 5 gms for the both of them, and we'll send you our new faces as often as we add them. You might call this a bargain. But we hope you'll take it as Face value.' Face Photosetting was a pioneering London-based type foundry and photosetting studio founded in 1968 by John McConnell and Chris Dubber.

Specialising in phototypesetting—a pre-digital method of projecting film-based fonts for high-quality typesetting—it produced innovative, custom display typefaces during the 1960s and 1970s, often featuring bold, experimental designs inspired by wood type and modernist aesthetics.

PLEASE NOTE: All the posters and prints we sell are out-of-print and original, and can sometimes show signs of wear consistent with age. Posters in particular are delicate items that can easily suffer the effects of time and handling. The grading of posters and prints has been kept as simple as possible. Their condition is ranked A to C, which include further sub-classifications of plus (+) and minus (-) in each case (e.g. A-, A, A+). Items are supplemented with a high-resolution image, and any specific/significant flaws highlighted. If in doubt, please contact me for further information.

Grade A: items are in excellent condition for their age. They are clean and display bright colour(s), show no sign of loss, and minimal creasing or other imperfections. Grade B: items are in good condition for their age. They are generally clean, yet may present minimal tears or loss, creasing folds and pin holes. Grade C: items are in poor condition for their age. They may suffer from soiling, fading or discolouration, in addition to more significant tears, loss, creasing.
