British Letterpress

British Letterpress is a traditional printing method that uses metal or wooden type blocks arranged by hand to create text or images. This process involves pressing the type onto paper with a lot of mechanical pressure, resulting in a distinctive, tactile impression. It emphasizes craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the beauty of the printed surface, often valued for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. British letterpress preserves a rich printing heritage, producing high-quality, bespoke printed materials like invitations, stationery, and art prints that showcase the texture and depth only this technique can achieve.
