M&H Type Foundry

Arion Press, established in 1974 as the successor to the renowned Grabhorn Press, is a unique entity in the United States dedicated to crafting artist books entirely by hand under one roof. The press collaborates with leading artists to reinterpret literary classics, employing historic machines that produced the U.N. Charter in 1945 within the last unified hot-metal type foundry letterpress workshop and bookbindery in the country.

Now located at Fort Mason, Arion Press continues to push the boundaries of traditional craft, ensuring the printed word remains relevant in the digital age. Through their meticulous craftsmanship, they create beautiful books that merge art with literature, exemplifying the enduring power of the printed medium.
