Russell Maret is a letter designer and letterpress printer. Based in New York City, he set up his own press in 1993 after apprenticeships with printer Peter Koch and Firefly Press. He later taught himself to design letterforms and has since converted some of his type designs into metal typefaces for letterpress. This exhibition features works by Maret that are part of the Swarthmore College Libraries Book Arts & Private Press Collection.
