Illustration for Letterpress Print | Herz&Co | Letterpress printing and design studio

Art Direction: Herz&Co / Franz Hochwarter

THE PRINTERS – Herz&Co is a boutique print shop and design studio specialising in letterpress printing. Led by Helga Herz and nestled in the refined surroundings of Vienna’s 19th district, Herz&Co is uncompromising in its commitment to the highest standards of print quality and materials. Countless hours of meticulous handcraft go into each exquisite wedding invitation, birth announcement, and business card – all thoughtfully designed and produced by a small team of dedicated professionals with an unwavering attention to detail.

THE BRIEF – Letterpress printing is a natural match for bringing richly detailed line illustrations to life. Over the years, a steady demand has emerged for traditionally rendered illustrations of castles, palaces, private estates, and portraits – all of which have found their way into Franz Hochwarter’s designs and onto the finished printed pieces. The right measure of detail and a deep reverence for the traditions of the craft remain, always, at the heart of this work.
