Letterpress Printing
Letterpress is a traditional relief printing technique that uses movable type —letters, numbers, and symbols made of metal or wood— which are manually arranged to form words, phrases, or graphic compositions.
Once inked, the types are pressed onto paper or another surface to transfer the ink, creating a tactile and visual impression.
Originally the main method for printing text from the 15th century (after Gutenberg’s invention) until the 20th century, letterpress has today experienced a revival as an artisanal and artistic practice, valued for its relief quality, paper texture, and handcrafted nature.
