Typeface - Seattle Premiere

(Justine Nagan, 2009, DigiBeta, 60 min)

In an age of digital design and portable media, this new documentary explores the twilight of an analog craft and the small town museum that once was a thriving center of the printing industry. The Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, WI bears an important part of the lineage of American graphic design. On most days, a lone employee waits in a cavernous old industrial building for its occasional trickle of visitors to arrive. But come Friday, the place comes alive as printmaking workshops led by, and filled with some of the nations top design talent, descend on the sleepy enclave. Typeface investigates the history of wood type, introduces us to proponents of the letterpress process around the country, and champions the convergence of modern design and traditional technique.
