This Just In: The Experimental Wood Type Prints of Jack Stauffacher
Over 200 experiments by the San Francisco printer have arrived at the Archive.
Jack Stauffacher (who celebrated his 96th birthday in December 2016) has been making books since age 16 — which means 80 years spent practicing and perfecting the interrelated arts of printing, typography, design, and publishing. A 2004 AIGA medalist, the self-taught Stauffacher is one of the most distinguished printers in the United States today.
