Making
Letterpress
Ink on a raised letter is a physical fact. The page remembers the bite.
It belongs with bookbinding, type design, and any history that still cares what paper feels like.
A shop that keeps a press is usually keeping a pace the screen will not offer.
On an Interest Map, the line we most often letter beside letterpress reads “ink that leaves a bite.” It tends to meet type design, bookbinding, and poetry.

A book that keeps it company
