Lyra Corporation

Lyra Corporation is home to Arion Press and M&H Type. The facility is one of the last fully integrated traditional letterpress workshops in the United States, incorporating a type foundry and hand book bindery. At its Presidio location, skilled craftspeople carry forward a legacy of creating limited edition artist books, which pair significant works of literature with renowned artists. An on-site gallery hosts exhibitions and other educational events, and weekly tours are open to the public.
