How many tools are needed in a printing house? Definitely fonts and printing presses, but what other tools make the daily work of typographic composition and printing possible? In “I giochi dell'Archivio Tipografico” dozens of small tools and utensils indispensable for daily production work are presented, as well as part of the characters and machines currently present in the collection. That's all? Obviously not! This bilingual publication is also a tool for imagining possible, bizarre, ingenious, fake or useless tools.
