Hand typesetting.

Having an extensive library of movable type at our disposal, we can hand typeset designs in metal & wooden letterpress type.

We have a wide selection of metal & wood type available in sizes from 4 point to 40 line (480 point) and many typefaces, including a large collection originating from the Cambridge University Press along with many scarce display typefaces, borders and ornaments dating from the Victorian era to the mid-20th Century.

Some examples of projects that have been hand typeset can be viewed on this page and a small selection of the wooden typefaces we hold in our collection can be viewed on the wood type proofing page of our website.
