What’s Type High Day?

Celebrated by letterpress enthusiasts every year on September 18th (9/18), Type High day recognizes a small but important measurement in the world of printing: .918 inches. Metal and wood type in letterpress printing, regardless of size, is precisely .918 inches in height. This ensures consistent printing across all presses.
