About
the Design
"Typosaurus" features headlines from Pittsburgh’s
past, hand-stamped on the newspaper’s signature color,
to create a must-read dinosaur. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
staff artist Emily Escalante used typography to bring history
to life. Using a timeline of the city's events, the artist
selected significant headlines to highlight. The style of
lettering is a reference to the old hot-type technique of
newspaper printing.
This dinosaur
will appeal to everyone who cares about
First Amendment protections…free exercise of religion,
freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right of
the people to assemble and to petition the government. "Typosaurus"
is speaking to you.
