About McKellier Woodtype

Mark McKellier is a graphic designer with 30+ years experience in design for print. Mark now uses his love of typography, patterns and letterpress printing to design and make wood type (both revivals of old designs along with new typefaces from type designers from around the world, including ones designed by Mark himself), ornaments, borders and replacement letters for printers who are 'out of sorts'. Although largely self taught (a steep learning curve of over 6 months working out how to make type high blocks) Mark comes from a family of wood workers. He has a large collection of over 60 cases of wood type and a Harrild 'Pullmaster' Proofing Press that used to belong to Her Majesty's Stationery Office. Mark originally made woodtype for himself to replace missing letters before realising he wasn’t the only printmaker with that problem and so McKellier Wood Type was born in 2018. A part-time venture combining modern CNC cutting technology with traditional methods (including a restored 1960’s Funditor printer’s table saw) he aspires to produce woodtype to the standards of old English type founders like Delittle and Day & Collins.
