The Typography of Independence
Join the University of Pennsylvania’s Common Press for The Typography of Independence, a year-long program celebrating Revolutionary era papermaking and printing techniques that made the first edition of the Declaration of Independence. Through free, public hands-on workshops and live demonstrations, we invite the Penn community and all Philadelphians to explore the production of this locally-made document that announced the colonies' independence to the world.
