The Beauty of Letterpress



Neenh Paper
has released the Beauty of Letterpress, Issue 4, designed by Mikey Burton. This issue is titled “Hang Loose” and is described by Burton thusly:

This is just a silly piece that came out of my brain about letterpress. Sometimes people get a little stuffy about this 600-year old process, and just forget to have fun. I always feel lucky to get away from the computer to play around on these antique machines. Roll up your sleeves, brayer out some ink and hang loose!

The Beauty of Letterpress project supports the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum, which must relocate. Neenah Paper has pledged to match $15,000 of the donations raised, For each $5 print sold, Neenah Paper donates $10 to Hamilton.
