Typeface Official Trailer

[twakillian]

I've got to find the movie. I worked at Hamilton's during college summers and my father and grandfather spent most of their working lives there. It used to be a booming employer but many of the jobs have gone overseas. I have a desk nameplate made from some of the typeface.

[c3rbutt]

Dennis was my professor! He gave our class prints he had made with woodtype. I assume they were from Hamilton... I know he mentioned Wisconsin.

[greendressgirl]

I grew up in Wisconsin and never heard of Hamilton. Thank you for bringing awareness to this amazing place. Its great to see a community that sees the value in their history.

letter press is only a big deal to those that never went to a design school where you had to train on them....fun to play with but once you have to actually do REAL work on them, you will run back to the computer instantly...

[naturaelanthem]

@xpez not always. screenprinting is perhaps an easier method thats more flexible, especially to graphic designers. but I'd have to say that its "trendy" nowadays for designers to turn back to old printmaking methods, especially in art school. I can't say that its useful at all in the real industry though...perhaps a select few businesses but most design places work digitally

It looks like award winning Bruce Licher's letterpress studio in downtown Los Angeles the early Eighties.

in Dayton Ohio we have a little place like this and its operational and they get jobs still…it's pretty awesome…old type and old presses

[thesaltyseacaptain]

That is very cool.

[kittimo30]

wow, thru the time, see the changing...classic one :)

[Barnomadic]

Wow i wish i could be there. For the change in this modern day, & for them to be forced to shut it down... i must say it would be such a waste!

The Smithsonian should take this over....

Glorious. Looking forward to the film - and to getting to Two Rivers.

[esemepe]

Wonderful and Inspiring

[michaelecoffin]

Wonderful. Love the irony of the clumsily set Times Roman titles. I wonder if it was intentional.

Why do you americans always tuck in your polo shirt into the jeans??? And you pull that jeans up to your neck...

[headmusik]

How beautiful. Wow to see the old craft alive and up close. Plus that gentleman who is 83 years old. OMG, he sounds like Jimmy Stewart!

Save this place, it's life in the raw.

[lkleiman]

Dennis was my typography teacher. I've never met anyone as passionate about letters as him.

[ohratz]

This nearly made me cry. I am a graphic designer and would have so loved the opportunity to learn these old trades as my father did in his time. I hope to see the film someday, if it makes it to my neck of the woods.

[bredlo]

Looks great - we'll try to make it!
