Collaborative space dedicated to the art of printing with historical printing machines
Design
Labs and design makerspace
A collaborative space for the study, conservation and exercise of the art of typography, founded in 2000 on an initiative of Emanuele Mensa. Today it has around 2,000 movable typefaces between lead wood and resin, 9 printing presses in perfect working order and all the typographic tools necessary to carry out the craft. The Typographic Archive preserves and reinterprets the craft tradition of movable type composition and letterpress printing. It is an active and dynamic place, a promoter of workshops, an incubator of projects on the borderline between tradition and experimentation, between graphic design and art.
