Typeface is a movie about a museum and print shop in rural Wisconsin that has a rich history in wood type. As the number of craftsmen (and women) of this trade have rapidly declined over the years, this museum hope to preserve this history and hopefully inspire a new generation.
Having worked for some time in a print shop in my younger years, and quite literally around 2-color presses, I have a bit of a soft spot for stories like this one.
For more information on the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum visit their website.
But what’s with the inch mark in place of the apostrophe at the end. Shame!
