At Headjam, we love his combination of bright, wild and colourful trails and also his contrasting neat and structured works representing the words of [Jack Kerouac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kerouac). According to  [Peter's website](http://www.petercrawley.co.uk/), much of this work was inspired from a road trip he took across the US, hence the Kerouac references. Peter's typography can be found in countries all over the world, and he creates the work by hand-piercing different paper stocks with a pin and then using a needle and thread to stitch the paper. His hard work has clearly paid off. Peter's works have been used by a variety of brands, agencies and publications. We can't get enough, we're all strung out on it! ![Typo Tuesday: Heady Thread](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/Petercrawley_002.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: Heady Thread](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/Petercrawley_003.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: Heady Thread](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/Petercrawley_004.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: Heady Thread](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/petercrawley_005.jpg) ![Typo Tuesday: Heady Thread](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hubfs/Headjam%20May2018/Images/PeterCrawley_006.jpg) ## If you have a project in mind or would like to work with us, send us a message. ## [![Typo Tuesday: Letterpress Aesthetics + Telegramme Studio](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/06%20(1).jpg?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=06%20(1).jpg) Typo Tuesday: Letterpress Aesthetics + Telegramme Studio](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-letterpress-aesthetics-telegramme-studio) [Community](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/community) · [Design](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/design) · [Digital](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/digital) · [Crafts](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/crafts) · [Old school](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/old-school) · [Photography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/photography) · [Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/typography) ## [![Typo Tuesday: Cleverly Childish](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/typography_001.jpg?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=typography_001.jpg) Typo Tuesday: Cleverly Childish](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-cleverly-childish) [Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/typography) ## [![Typo Tuesday: Interpretative Words](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Word-Play-01.jpg?width=1360&height=900&upsize=true&upscale=true&name=Word-Play-01.jpg) Typo Tuesday: Interpretative Words](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/typo-tuesday-interpretative-words) [Inspiration](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/inspiration) · [Typography](https://spreadable.headjam.com.au/spreadable/tag/typography) Have an idea in mind?
