The Jolly Type A 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!

Burnt orange is the heart of this print – a deep, warm, slightly red-leaning orange that fills the letter and radiates energy – anchored by a dusty teal outline and lifted by soft cream and pale yellow highlights, all set against a blush-peach background that keeps the mood cheerful rather than loud. Because the palette runs entirely warm, walls in terracotta, warm sand, or creamy off-white (those with a yellow or peachy undertone rather than a cool grey base) will feel harmonious and considered. For contrast, a muted sage or dusty blue-green – a close neighbour to that teal outline – pulls the cooler accent in the print forward and gives the whole composition somewhere to breathe. This is a print that belongs in a child’s bedroom or playroom, obviously, but its confident graphic quality earns it a place in a kitchen, home studio, or even a grown-up living room where personality matters more than formality. Style-wise, it sits comfortably in contemporary playful, pop-art inspired, retro cartoon, and maximalist interiors – anywhere bold colour is welcomed rather than apologised for. It belongs to The Jolly Type, a collection of 26 google-eyed letters – each unique in character – that exists to banish boring type for good; grouped together, a run of letters from the collection makes a genuinely distinctive gallery wall. It would make a thoughtful gift for a child starting school, a typographer, or anyone who simply takes their sense of humour seriously.

Printed with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper – a smooth, gallery-grade stock with a soft, glare-free surface – the finish is museum-grade and reads beautifully under both natural and artificial light without the reflections that can plague glossy prints. The matte surface works equally well in a slim white or natural-wood modern frame and in an ornate vintage mount, letting you match the frame to the room rather than the print. At A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) or A3 (29.7 × 42 cm), it earns its place on a shelf, pinboard, or as part of a gallery wall arrangement; at A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) it becomes a proper focal point above a desk or beside a bed; and at A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) or A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm), it has the scale to anchor a hallway or fill a broad chimney breast with real presence. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
