Announcement
Interrobang is the last all hand-, and hot metal-set letterpress shop in the Boston/Cambridge metro area. We have close to 800 fonts of vintage metal and wood type in cases and galleys, several series of linecasting matrices for text setting, and hundreds of border ornaments and slides we can cast unlimited quantities of on one of the last working Linotype in the area.
Environmentally conscious? So are we. Traditional metal type is energy captured in the form of letters, numbers, punctuation and ornament. That energy lays quietly in a type case until it's picked, and set by hand, printed, and distributed back in to a type case, ready for the next project.
Besides the few cards and posters we offer on Etsy, we design and print fine stationery, wedding invitations, bookplates, books, and other typographic ephemera. We're always happy to discuss custom orders.
And since we're printing, type and book nerds, we'll be offering some select books that are specifically about letterpress, type, and typography, or that were designed and printed better than typically done, with an eye toward type and typography.

5 out of 5 starsIt’s a wonderful piece. Excellent quality. Unfortunately, USPS damaged it in it’s shipping. No fault of the seller. Seller was kind enough to, follow up with USPS, resend at no cost, and keep in contact throughout. Very pleasant experience. Quality art, quality seller.

Graduated with a BFA in painting in 1986, I found letterpress in 1988 and began dragging type and equipment home before formally establishing as interrobang letterpress in 1992. All type, all the time from a pretty darned big collection.
