Rixing Type Foundry possesses a collection of traditional lead type and copper plates for complex Chinese characters, retaining three Chinese fonts (regular script, Song, and black), and seven sizes (from size one to size six), with over ten thousand characters for each, totaling nearly 300,000 different character shapes.
As computer typesetting technology becomes widespread, traditional letterpress printing gradually fades from the stage of history, yet the owner of Rixing Type Foundry, Zhang Jie Guan, strives to continue the legacy of this ancient cultural tradition.
Open all year round on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10:00 to 17:00.
