Do You Punctuate?

 

Hello!
 
I’m Bec Gilray from Do You Punctuate? I run a letterpress printing studio and I love to create cards and stationery using traditional methods of printing.


 
DYP was born out of an MA research project about punctuation and typography. 

 
I had bought a printing press and wanted to utilise my typesetting skills, so my ‘micro business’ began. Initially, I started with creating my own designs but now I do a lot of bespoke printing. Anything from wedding stationery, through to business cards, to birthday invitations, personalised prints–the list is endless!

 
 
Inspired and very much led by vintage typography, my work is a contemporary take on the old illustrative styles from the printing blocks i work with.

 
I set metal type and I also use wooden blocks. My childhood is a great inspiration and I try to bring a quirky humour and style to my work.
