United States of Letterpress

#FridayDistraction
This quarter’s Field Notes subscription release is a particular love letter to the traditional letterpress…

“UNITED STATES of LETTERPRESS”

This series of nine pocket sized notebooks celebrates the resurgence of appreciating the beauty and magic of designing for, and printing on, an old fashioned Letterpress. Hand typesetting, inking the rollers, feeding the stock, the sounds, the smells…

It is a world changing art form that’s been around since around 1440.

Field Notes is a small Chicago based company keeping the love of print design alive.  We are BIG fans – you should be too 🙂
