Brass and lead movable type come in use when we want to personalize the covers of our notebooks and photo albums.
To personalize our creations to your specific needs, we have acquired a wide range of different typefaces and ornamental decorations, called printing type, to be used with our gold foiling machine. But what is the printing type?
printing type is made up of individual pieces, each carrying a single letter or other character, so that the pieces can be freely assembled or reassembled for printing any desired combination or line
Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary
To personalize the cover of your order, we hand-set the type, lock it up, and place it in the machine. Using heat and pressure, the design is then transferred onto the cover.
Our Typeface Collection
A large portion of our type originates from the Font Foundry of Warsaw (Odlewnia Czcionek w Warszawie). We were able to recover a copy of the catalog, and from this publication, we managed to identify the names of the typefaces.
