Description

The Carpathian Press & Type Foundry and Carpathian Engineering

Who I am and what I do.

Born out of a school boy ambition to cast my own letterpress printing type, I run a small hobby type foundry using a Monotype Super Caster.

My passion is keeping letterpress alive by making new type and ornaments accessible to all.

I aim to offer small quantities of type and ornaments for sale to the hobby letterpress printer.

I operate on a small scale, and only when time allows. Indeed I feel able to proclaim that I have “probably the world’s smallest type foundry!”

I can also be found on Instagram at https://Instagram.com/the_carpathian_typ...

Out of necessity to keep my 1940’s typecasting machine running, I have equipped my workshop with engineering equipment, including a Myford Super 7 lathe, Seig SX1 mini mill and David Dowling pantograph engraver.

My interest in home engineering grows daily.
