Details clearly derived from digital environments and restrictions, combined with classical typographical forms, result in an interesting hybrid of old and new. Meanwhile we have become increasingly curious about the conceptual methodology behind his typefaces.

At some point in the future they will reach the finish with heads full of knowledge while holding in their hands an amazingly done agenda.

At his silent presence, they continue on an experimental journey to make other machines happy too. So they fed him with 3D printed resin letters and some fancy slick designs, until he had become fat and content. A hundred-year-old, always curious machine that wanted to try out some new techniques. Hungry for knowledge they have delved into ancient ways of printing. Right on time for the holiday season, we will be presented with the hurdles overcome, a live printing demonstration (16:00-16:30) and having fist dips on a 2023 agenda preorder.Ī few months ago, four strangers met on the playground of Grafische Werkplaats Amsterdam.

The apprentice program - consisting of four people learning the craft of book printing with vintage machines - was assigned the creation of a typographical agenda. We have been looking forward to this presentations since we first saw this extraordinary project at GWA, which connects old and new modes of printing.
