Introduction
I am an amateur...
...and in understanding that, I take encouragement.
While attending The Creativity Workshop in Lisbon, Portugal, a transformational experience in many ways, I became enlightened.
The word amateur comes from the Latin amator, or, lover. It means to create for the sheer love of it.
Tasked with an exercise to define or describe myself in a single word, I was faced with a conundrum — Do I choose between my enthusiasm for typography or my obsession with antiquarian books?
The word Typoquarian came to mind and I knew that I had created something unique.
—Mitch Mondello, TYPOQUARIAN
