Join us tomorrow for our March talk from Kelvyn Smith on the New typography Workshop. Full details on the Letter Exchange website www.letterexchange.org
The resurgence of Letterpress over the last few decades has triggered a passionate respect for the craft of Typography & has reinforced its position in the visual arts. Letterpress has evolved as a natural ally to the graphic arts & identified itself as an exciting process to express ideas & an extraordinarily thorough process to examine language & design. As an antidote to the immediate & often dispensable nature of modern technology, the slow articulation of the technical side of Letterpress allow the designer to immerse themselves in the focus of the craft & revel in the simple joys of making.
