Handset typography and letterpress workshop with Martin Dufour

Letterpress case of the typeface Nicolas Cochin

In February 2008, I started the handset typography and letterpress workshop offered at Atelier Circulaire that is one of Montreal's collective intaglio centres besides Graff, the Zocalo, Concordia University's printing department and UQAM's printing department.

I did my first attempts and exercised myself in composing letter by letter. This is a quite patience-demanding mission. It enables us to accomplish our personal project that is part of the workshop. More information about that will be posted in a few weeks...
