I love the look of letterpress.
There’s something about the smell of inks and the way the paper feels as you run your fingers over the slightly indented text that makes me sad to think it’s a dying art form that may one day disappear. While browsing Etsy the other day, I came across a lovely letterpress shop run by the sweetest girl, Hijirik, who also owns Hijirik Design Studio.
Born in Japan, Hijiri immigrated to the United States after graduating from the Graphic Design Institute in Tokyo. In November 2008, after studying the techniques of letterpress at Cooper Union in New York, she opened shop. Each product is printed and crafted by hand with passion.
There’s something simple and innocent about her work that I really enjoy. Inks are soy based – very eco-friendly!
Visit her etsy shop to view additional prints.
