Letterpress Type
Part of being a letterpress printer is preserving and honoring its history. With that in mind I am undertaking an iterative process of curating a private library of letterpress type and cuts.
In May 2020 we obtained six small cabinets of type from Historic Roscoe Village in Coshocton, Ohio. Adding that inventory to the handful of fonts we already had created the basis for our collection.
