Save the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum! That’s the simple message of filmmaker Justine Nagan’s documentary, Typeface. The struggling museum, located in a preserved type factory in Two Rivers, Wis., boasts a collection of 1.5 million wood type specimens (shown). The real jewels of the museum, however, are its volunteers: elderly former factory employees who are among the last practitioners of the art of wood-type fabrication.
