Traditional Chinese characters are the heartbeat of Hong Kong’s culture. From the flow of each stroke to the evolution of glyphs, every character carries centuries of history.

The lead types we use for our leather embossing were originally crafted for letterpress printing—a heritage of over ten thousand individual characters, each carrying its own weight and soul. Unlike perfect digital prints, letterpress captured the typecasters’ artistry and the printer’s touch, giving every impression a raw, living texture.

We are dedicated to weaving this heritage into our designs. Our lead types are sourced from the world’s last standing Traditional Chinese type foundry. Today, as the original copper molds naturally wear down, the foundry is running against time to restore each character, striving to keep this craftsmanship and our language alive.

When you choose our pieces, you are not just holding a craft; you are helping our culture to preserve the beauty of traditional Chinese characters for generations to come.
