038 • TYLER ENGLISH

Our guest is Tyler English⁠ , a letterpress designer and founder of Ulterior Press. In this digital age of screens, software, user experiences, and obsessions with pixel perfection — it is inspiring to hear from Tyler about his letterpress practices and the ways in which he meticulously works with typography, ink, and paper to create work that is rooted in the ways in which graphic design was once done. In this episode, Tyler speaks with host ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christian Solorzano⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ about the hard-to-describe feeling of making things with your hands as opposed to on the computer and the familiarity and freedom that comes from working within the limitations of particular mediums, whether it is letterpress, music, or writing. He shares the insights and surprises that he gains from working with letterpress and the process of seeing an idea all the way through production.
