Upside Down, Left To Right

January 28, 2012

I must admit I have a weakness for letterpress related films. And even though this subtile short film by Danny Cooke have been featured on the various blogs and was circulating on twitter the last few days I felt the urge to (re)post it as well. Well, because it can never be too much;)
"A short film about letterpress and one of the few remaining movable-type printing workshops in the UK, situated at Plymouth University, featuring Paul Collier."

A Little Letterpress

December 7, 2011

After getting a set of metal type as a gift from a friend, Ishac Bertran decided to build a small printing press uisng only leftover materials from past experiments. Even though it is not accurate when printing it is very cute and is probably the smallest letterpress printing equipment ever made;)

Type walk in Ghent. Before & after. Marchandises & stories.
March 28, 2026

Tucked away near Sint-Jacobsplein in Ghent once stood a place that many locals still remember with a certain nostalgia: Marchand’10. The name Marchand’10 (Marchandise) — French for “merchant” — suited the place perfectly. This was never just a shop, but a world of its own. It felt more like wandering into a densely packed cabinet of curiosities.

Type walk in Ghent. Before & after or from lace to lunch: the changing story of Kraanlei 33.
January 6, 2026

It’s been quite a while since I started my Sunday type walks. What began as a simple stroll through the city—my only free day as a self-employed graphic designer—quickly became a way to move, clear my head, and indulge my long-standing fascination with typography in all its forms. Whenever I arrive in a new city, I instinctively take a type walk; the streets are full of hidden typographic gems, waiting to be discovered.

Letterpret or Alphabet Cards
November 29, 2025

The wood-type collection at the Museum of Industry in Ghent is exceptional, and I’m lucky to work with it every day. Typesetting cards and posters, pulling prints in the museum’s workshop — even after all these years I’m still discovering new, curious, and beautifully worn pieces in the drawers.
