A documentary by Richard Kegler, P22 Type Foundry

Making Faces is a documentary film on the life and work of type designer, letterpress printer and book artist Jim Rimmer.
 

Kegler’s film has the dual aim of documenting the almost-lost skill of creating metal fonts and of capturing the personality and work process of the late Canadian graphic artist Jim Rimmer (1931-2010).

P22 Type Foundry commissioned Mr. Rimmer to create a new type design (Stern) that became the first-ever simultaneous release of a digital font and hand-set metal font in 2008.
