I am always on the lookout for old woodblock type. It’s a nice connection to the history of graphic design and typography. At a great junqueyard in Michigan, I found 6 of these number blocks. I chose to work with their square shape and take 4 to assemble in a shadow box frame from IKEA. I love the warmth of the wood and of course, that they are framed to read reverse because of their function on a press. The other 2 sit on a shelf in my studio and are just a fun reminder of the pre-digital days!
