The Jolly Type I Matte Art Print


Choose Your Print Size

Move over boring type(s), it’s time for The Jolly Type.

26 Google-eyed letters (and an ampersand), each of them unique in character.

Set against smooth pastel cotton candy like backgrounds, these are perfect for spelling out names or words to form a centrepiece, or pick your favourite letter and mix it into a more traditional gallery wall to add a bit of humour and jolliness!

…and don’t get me started how much fun these will be in any nursery!

These letter prints are available in sizes from A4 – A0. If you decide to spell a word, or write your initials, you can get every third letter free!

Warm amber-orange glows across the background of this print – a dusty, burnished tone sitting somewhere between terracotta and caramel – while a bold violet-purple dominates the letter form itself, bright and slightly blue-leaning rather than red. A dark chocolate brown outlines everything, and flashes of warm gold and clean white in the googly eyes tie the whole palette together. Those warm undertones running through the orange and brown make this print a natural ally for walls in soft terracotta, warm clay, or a muted rust – analogous neighbours that let the background breathe without disappearing into it. For contrast, a deep dusty plum or a muted aubergine picks up the violet of the letter and gives the print somewhere to stand out with real presence; alternatively, a warm off-white or a creamy sand keeps things quiet while still honouring the print’s golden undertones. The mood is playful and self-assured – exactly right for a child’s bedroom, a creative studio, a reading nook, or a kitchen wall that could use some personality. This print belongs to The Jolly Type collection, a set of 26 Google-eyed letters (and an ampersand) each distinct in character, conceived to move boring typography firmly out of the way; hung together, several letters from the collection make a joyful and cohesive gallery wall. In terms of interior style, it fits naturally into contemporary maximalist, retro-pop, eclectic Scandi, and playful modern spaces. It makes a thoughtful gift for a new home, a child starting school, or anyone with a weakness for bold, characterful design.

Printed using archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper – a smooth, gallery-grade stock with a soft, glare-free surface – this is a museum-grade print whose finish works equally well behind a slim black or white modern frame and behind something heavier and more ornate. At A4 the print sits neatly on a shelf or slips into a gallery-wall arrangement without overwhelming its neighbours; A3 and A2 carry enough weight to hold their own above a desk or beside a doorway; A1 brings the letter’s bold character firmly into a room, while A0 is large enough to anchor an entire wall and let the violet and amber really fill the space. This print is also available as a ready-to-hang canvas print measuring 28×40 inches (70×100 cm), requiring no frame.
