what we do

 

We make new wood type, ornaments and custom designs for letterpress printers. Our type is CNC milled and polished for a smooth print surface before finishing with shellac.

Letterpress inks and prints also available. We are based in Wales and welcome domestic and international orders.

Default type height is 0.918” or 23.32mm with a tolerance of 0.07mm along the end grain.

We also offer custom orders, catering for German/Didot type height of 23.56mm.
