In a time when people can carry computers in their pockets and watch TV while walking down the street, TYPEFACE dares to explore the twilight of an analog craft that is freshly inspiring artists in a digital age.  The film focuses on the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, WI which personifies cultural preservation, rural re-birth and the lineage of American graphic design.  At Hamilton, international artists meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of contemporary design and traditional technique.
