The best part about the Mac App Store (and indeed the iTunes App Store) is, in our opinion, finding hidden gems of creative apps that you just wouldn't normally come across. One such app that caught our attention is the Kickstarter-funded LetterMpress from mpressInteractive and Bonadies Creative.
The app, available for Mac and iPad, puts you in control of a virtual Letterpress press. Sounds a little cheesy, yes, but it is in fact incredibly good fun and capable of some pretty good results. There are two modes in the app: Compose and Print. In Compose mode, you choose typefaces (including Atlas, Bradley, Clarendon Bold, Gothic Bold and Headline Modified) from the Type & Art tray and drag your chosen wood blocks onto the surface. Using the Galley tray, you can build up your different elements so you can use different colours within your designs.
