Why Letterpress?
Since the innovations of movable, cast metal letterpress type in the 1430s, printed matter became available to anyone who wanted to read. Before that time, text was largely reproduced by hand copying one volume to another, making the cost of the written word inaccessible to most. With the innovations of letterpress, each letter was designed as an individual printed character, letters could be combined and recombined endlessly to print anything. This allowed for the influx of literacy and the information highway of the Renaissance world. We are proud to keep this history alive with our collections of movable type and our vintage printing presses manufactured over 100 years ago, adding authenticity to every design.
