Meet the Typographer
Enter the workshop, meet the typographer, and discover the world of letterpress printing. Armed with little characters made of lead, a typographer reveals the secrets of his craft and its history, from Gutenberg to the present.
Meet the Typographer continues our desire to illuminate different elements of the arts to all ages. The playful illustrations, printed in three striking colors, offer a unique experience of the printed medium and showcase the magic of the fine art of typography.

We are lifelong bibliophiles. Shelves filled with books line our studio walls and more are stacked on every surface. We admire their design, scrutinize their typography, fetishize their paper and analyze their binding. We read them for research, for inspiration, for the sheer pleasure of exploring new worlds of thought and experience.
We have curated a selection of books to offer our audience, based on our interests and yours. Most of our books are limited editions or out of print, they are seldom available in the US, and not available on Amazon.
The fact that we have now launched our own imprint seems an inevitable extension. Wms&Co. books are created in collaboration with the interesting characters, visionaries and designers we encounter. Subject matter varies wildly but is always infused with the spirit of creativity and a respect for good design.
