The Virgin Wood Type Manufacturing Company has been carving end-grain maple into type since 2010. We've built a reputation for making high quality wood type for letterpress printers.

We offer pantograph-cut wood type in a variety of font schemes and sizes. Our typeface selection is a growing combination of designs from original American Wood Type patterns, revived and redesigned victorian faces, and brand new faces never before cut into wood. We offer simple shapes, calendar fonts, catchphrases, ornaments, arrrows and are now making over 40 diffferent typefaces.

We do not make replacement letters.

HANDMADE ON A PANTOGRAPH ROUTER
In 2010, the late Bill Jones and Geri McCormick bought the machine, originally created by the American Wood Type Manufacturing Company to cut trees into letters and sell them to printers.

For the next two years Bill and Geri worked to build the business, eventually offering a total of 23 fonts.
