Type Tart Cards

Tart cards are the means by which many London prostitutes advertise their services. Step into almost any central London phone box and you can contemplate up to 80 cards inviting you to be tied, teased, spanked or massaged.

In conjunction with St Bride Library and Type, we asked designers – from students to superstars – to find the tart hiding in every type and create their own graphic numbers.

Lucid Dreams

Franz Ferdinand, Tonight (Domino, 2009).

Our only nation lives in Lucid Dreams

Makes me see the colour red (we can go, Meccano)
Listen to the things we said

Lily (Black Eye), 2005

de Ryan McGinley.

They exist in a halo-world of light and beauty, like models in an editorial or ad spread. Only, they get to do what those models only hint at doing. They get fucked up and have sex and fight and lie out on the desert sand, naked.

Interpol, Amsterdam

por Abbey Drucker.

Circle around me now baby it'll be ok
Cause we all go downtown sometimes
Somehow baby we'll beat this mess
It's the time fuck the surface to meet the specialist

"It is an enduring paradox and essential human tragedy that so much selfless devotion to cause, so much creative intellectual energy, and so many good intentions gave birth to such a monstrous reality. It is a reality that would threaten the survival of the very civilization that made it possible."
