Cloister Letters are associated with William Morris, as his typographic designs were influenced by and paid homage to medieval lettering traditions and can be considered an integral part of his broader artistic and design legacy.
Morris established the Kelmscott Press in 1891, which aimed to create high-quality books with meticulous attention to detail, including typography. He collaborated with prominent typographers of the time, such as Emery Walker and Sir Charles Reed. At Kelmscott Press, Morris designed and produced several typefaces for their publications, including the iconic Golden Type and Chaucer Type.

Laser Cutting Marks
Due to the nature of our process, you may notice slight discolouration around the cut edges. This is a natural result of laser cutting (light burning) and is more visible on opaque materials like self-adhesive Mylar. It is purely cosmetic and does not affect the stencil’s performance in any way.
Flattening Larger Stencils
Larger stencils are shipped rolled for practicality and cost-efficiency. If your stencil arrives curled, simply lay it flat for a couple of days. For quicker results, you can place it between two towels and press gently with a warm iron.
Peel & Stick Stencils
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or debris before application. When the adhesive loses tackiness, wash the stencil in warm soapy water and let it air dry. It will regain its tackiness once dry. You may use spray adhesive instead of washing if you prefer not to wait.
The longevity of the tacky backing varies with use and conditions, but it can always be reactivated or supported with spray adhesive if needed.
