Born in 1920 in San Mateo, California, Stauffacher began his study of printing at the age of sixteen and went on to design and print outstanding books for eighty years.After receiving a box of discarded wood type in 1966, Stauffacher began playing with the mismatched letterforms as a break from his daily press work. The resulting typographic experiments are an abstract yet exquisite testament to type's more expressive capabilities| SKU | Unavailable |
