About
Who writes Quiet Hours, and why.
I'm Clara, a type designer and letterpress printer based in Lyon. I draw letters for a living and set them in metal when I can.
Quiet Hours is a letter I send every Sunday morning. It is about attention, craft, and the slow work of making things well. It is free, and always will be, with a few extra letters for paying subscribers who want to support it.
If you'd like to say hello, reply to any letter. I read them all.
