Hasta La Ideas

Ishac Bertran is a designer, currently based in Copenhagen (via Barcelona), who has a “soft spot for typography.” When his friend brought him a set of vintage letterpress slugs as a souvenir from Italy, Bertran set out to build a little printer (no relation) using only leftover material from his previous projects.

Three blocks of wood—presumably mahogany—a couple brass rods and a few scraps of copper ultimately determined the shape of the device.

The tiny ink brayer, made with “some parts of an old radio cassette player [he] found in the studio,” is a nice touch.
