Illustrator Danilo Mondino, part of the Archivio Tipografico team, is experimenting with a new series of letterpress prints. In the series, Danilo obtains the matrices by manually working on the printing surface by carving linoleum or cutting a 1mm thick PVC sheet, which he then overprints to create figures and volumes.
This technique takes hints from reduction printing, however Danilo expands its parameters by working with the same ink for all of his subjects, designing the printing process in such a way that the end result is a silent art book.
The first two products that he has realised are 10 Palazzi Rossi (10 red buildings), and 10 Macchinine Blu (10 blue cars). The first is sold out, however the latter is currently on sale on Archivio Tipografico’s online store.
Archivio Tipografico is a lively, collaborative space where both new and old generations of printers, typographers, and designers gather to develop artistic and commercial printing projects. Its mission is to preserve and sustain the craft of composition with movable type and high-quality letterpress printing, while also giving these historic practices new life in contemporary work.
