this letterpress print is a heartfelt tribute to the power of hugs and the people who give them. Printed on vintage graph paper, this piece features the word "HUGS" in a fun, curvy font. There are 4 *very* limited variations of this design (turns out, vintage soviet graph paper is hard to come by).

You’re viewing the solid purple HUGS. See the others here:

This print is especially meaningful to me because it's inspired by the loving hugs and warm spirit of my mom. She always gave the best hugs and never let anyone leave without receiving one. Her parting words were always "Hugs!", shouted with a big smile on her face.

Each print is made with love and care, using traditional letterpress techniques that give it a unique texture and depth and warmth — just like how every hug is different and special and unique :)
