When we work with type, each letter of the text is composed by hand. We print on our antique press, the Golding Pearl Improved No. 11, and use 100% cotton papers (118 lb. cover weight) and rubber-based inks. We also like experimenting with different textures, including wood veneer and short pattern papers.
