Third Place Press is an independent publishing studio created to help overlooked stories find a place in print.

The concept was built around the idea of preserving stories with the same care we give to letters, photographs, and objects we choose to keep. Rather than making the identity feel loud or overtly literary, I wanted it to feel intimate, archival, and quietly timeless.

Visually, the brand takes cues from old correspondence, translucent paper, embossed typography, classical portraiture, and the tactile imperfections of printed materials. The restrained palette and delicate details give the identity a sense of permanence while still feeling personal and human.

At its core, Third Place Press is about treating stories as something worth holding onto, passing down, and keeping close.
