At Hand-inc, we create original letterpress typography, illustrations, and hand-lettering for brands, agencies, and clients who care about quality, authenticity and character.
Everything we make starts with the human hand, drawn, inked, and printed using time-honoured techniques. Then, it’s carefully digitised so it’s ready for use in branding, packaging, editorial, advertising campaigns, or wherever your project takes it.
If you're after work that’s real, authentic, and speaks with personality, you're in good hands.
We create custom artwork using traditional craftsmanship with contemporary thinking. Our work comprises of, (and often combines), three main disciplines – letterpress, lettering and illustration.
Hand-inc’s collection comprises of a strong mixture of vintage wooden display type, and moveable metal type in many different weights, styles and sizes. The type and equipment varies in age from Victorian to present day. It’s type that’s packed with history and full of possibilities.
From casual to copperplate, our lettering has been used for logos, packaging, campaigns and more, bringing an emotive and human charm to brands.
We create original prints that are available to buy directly from us in our online store.
If you would like to try letterpress printing for yourself or learn the delicate art of modern calligraphy, we run workshops each month where you can learn new skills and create your own unique artwork.
