Letterpress print - Letterpress print style

 

Letterpress printing is a traditional relief printing technique in which raised surfaces, often metal type or polymer plates, are inked and pressed onto paper. The process involves arranging individual letters, characters, or images in a composing stick to create a "form." Ink is applied to the raised surfaces, and then paper is pressed against the form to transfer the ink and create a print. Letterpress was widely used for printing books, newspapers, and other materials before modern digital printing methods became prevalent. It's known for its tactile quality, deep impressions, and distinctive vintage aesthetic. While less common today, letterpress is still used for artistic and specialty printing.
