Here’s a curious competition being run as part of the Plus+ Design Expo at Fazeley Studios from 5th - 8th November.

Type Tart Cards invites you to “design a tart card either for a typeface or a letter of the alphabet” using the prostitute cards found in London phone boxes as inspiration.

Maybe Sabon would invite you to caress its counters, or Palatino would advertise its ‘Mega Serifs’. Bodoni boasts some magnificent finials, Baskerville’s swash can really inflict some pain, and Century Schoolbook would undoubtedly keep you in after class. Perhaps you see something seductive in the curves of the ‘S’ or the ‘A’ exhibits dominatrix tendancies. However you see the alphabet there is a type-tart in every letter.

Submissions should be on A6 card and sent to Type Events by October 30th with all entries being displayed at Plus the following week. Full details here.
