Editorial design
with prepress
precision.
Type 42 was born from the union of the publishing world and more than a decade of experience in prepress and print production for global brands.
In practice, every project is designed to delight the reader and to reach the printer without errors: colors, bleeds, spine and files checked before going to press.
A book you want to keep close, to open and to hold on to. Type 42 exists for that encounter.
WORD
A voice that deserves
to be preserved.
FORM
Design that awakens
and guides the eye.
EXPERIENCE

to turn the page.

OUR NAME, OUR ORIGIN
The future is
written too.
The 42 comes from Gutenberg's 42-line Bible. A nod to a moment when technology opened a new chapter for the book and for the circulation of ideas.
Type is typeface, letter and composition. It is the memory of printing in a contemporary language. We bring together editorial intelligence, design and technology to take care of the whole book. Our origin is in the word. Our purpose, in the reader.
