Ugmonk Letterpress Experiments

October 28, 2008  |   1 Comment »

I recently bought a set of old letterpress type to do some experiments with. There’s something really cool about handling the solid pieces of metal type and looking at the unique wear on each of the letters from when they were used for printing. I’m not sure what else I am going to do with the type, but I hope to use it in future designs and maybe eventually try some printing.

Stay tuned for more experiments.

    I can’t wait to see more experiments with the type! Post on how any printing goes. I’ve always wanted to try letterpress, and am glad that more people are getting back to the basics.
