design using type
One of our absolute favourite things about letterpress is working with antique wood type. Not only are the letters beautiful on their own, the way they print is like nothing else! Each little scratch or nick in the wood comes out in the print as unique texture, marking its history of 100+ years of use - something that no Photoshop filter or digital font can replicate.
Here are a couple of our favourite examples of projects for which we have printed, scanned and digitally incorporated our antique type.
