On the Grid : Tipo Renesansa

"TipoRenesansa is a nonprofit studio for typography and printing heritage, founded in 2010 by graphic designer and calligrapher Marko Drpić and his wife, jewelry and graphic designer Maja Licul. Together they recreated an old letterpress printing shop in the center of Ljubljana. Today, TipoRenesansa is the last place in Slovenia where you can experience how printing was done before contemporary technology took over and romance was left behind." - Multipraktik

1 | A very interesting art shop and workshop that’s a must-visit for all typography lovers. You can buy original, handmade souvenirs from Slovenia here. 2 | The owner is very friendly. We walked into the shop and browsed around even though it was already closed — we didn’t realize it. Still, he kindly sold us some beautiful postcards. 3 | We regret not knowing about this place earlier. They organize workshops, such as letterpress printing, which we would have loved to join.

I had the pleasure of attending a 3-hour letterpress workshop at tipo Renesansa and it was a rewarding experience. Marco is both knowledgeable and passionate about the craft and graphic arts which made our session both engaging and informative. The small class size (3 of us) was hands on, fun, and inspiring. Highly recommend this class and the wonderful shop to anyone interested in exploring this beautiful art form!

This shop is a great place on so many different levels. At the most basic, if you are looking for a nice, handmade souvenir for yourself or someone back home, this is a great shop. Whether you pick up the great letterpress printed items made right there, or for something truly unique, the river stones on which the owner, Marko Drpić, hand carves letters in almost any font that you want, you can't go wrong. At another level just looking around Marko's shop is like being in a museum, as letterpress printing is a vanishing art. But for a real treat, Marko offers printing workshops where you can spend 1.5 hours or 3 hours learning about printing, his shop, and actually making your own prints to take home... In our case, my wife and I made a print of the Slovene alphabet, a fitting memento of the experience, the time and place in Ljubljana. Cannot think of a better way to spend some time in this beautiful city.

Beautiful and unique place for those who wants to have something different and original... Old fashion printing office where you can do printing workshop or just order 1st class bussines card for your company. Must visit when you are in Ljubljana...

What a special shop and shop owner. We stumbled upon Marko’s storefront while hunting for a Christmas ornament to symbolize our trip to Slovenia. His store isn’t geared towards those sort of items, but he was so genuinely kind and friendly during our exchange. Later, we found a plain, wooden Christmas ornament from a store called Dom, but we felt it was lacking character or a tie to Slovenia specifically. My husband had a great idea to go back to Marko’s shop to see if he would be able to add something to the ornament to make it more unique since Marko is a calligrapher. Marko immediately pulled out his tools and was willing to give it a try! The result - one of the most special ornaments that we own (we buy one to represent and look back on each trip) and it has such a heartwarming story tied to it now. Thank you Marko! I highly recommend his shop to anyone.

Such a beautiful art shop where they are keeping alive the art of letterpress. We were visiting this summer and decided to buy a one-of-kind print of Ljubljana as a souvenir. Just framed this beautiful print to hang it on our wall.

Tipo Renesansa is such a gorgeous shop and Marko is such a delight to chat with. I studied letterpress a few years ago in Italy and very happily chatted with Marko about this incredible art form for quite awhile. I highly recommend popping in to grab a beautiful handmade souvenir or take a workshop. I can’t wait to hang my Ljubljana print up on the wall when I get home.
