Graphic design enthusiasts will read 'print'. Leatherheads will read 'punt'. Rockers will read 'punk'. Rebellious girls will read 'pink'. Alcoholics will read 'pint'.
I read 'print' naturally, but studying the letterforms I landed on that lowercase 'r'. The left side is almost always higher than the right side on a cursive r, so here, especially since it's a little smaller than all the other letters already, kind of confuses the eye a little bit.
That's just one little tidbit on an overall very lovely piece, though, and I'm excited to see the supporting work!
Working on those letterpress bookmarks for Rise & Shine Paper. Made a stamp logo as a little sign off for each of them. Can't wait to see this one printed.

Like this. At first I thought it said "Punk is Dead" and I like it even more.

I agree. Less punting would make football a more enjoyable watch.

Is "print" really THAT hard to read?

Am I being trolled or are you coming on to me?

I read "print" immediately, but that may be because I am painfully aware of print dying.

@ Nathan. Damn. That was a well thought out response. Thanks! I think you're right on the "r" and will definitely work on it!

Love this!
And; print is as dead as you want it to be.
I, for one, love print and use it all the time.. (:
