Until: 1835
Activities: Typography

First letterpress printing shop in the city and in the province of São Paulo, was also identified, in O Farol Paulistano newspaper imprints, as ‘Tipografia Paulistana’ (1827, n.1), ‘Imprensa de Roa e C.’ (1827, n.2-74), and ‘Typographia de Roa e C.a’ (1827, n.75 - 1828, n.125). In March 1835 it was solt to the provincial govenment, passing to be known as 'Typographia do Governo’.

The O Farol Paulistano letterpress printing shop was responsible for the publication of the eponymous newspaper, between 1827-1831, and also other periodicals, such as O Observador Constitucional (1829-1832), Correio Paulistano (1831-1832) and O Novo Farol Paulistano (1831- 1835), becoming the starting point of São Paulo periodical press. Founded by José da Costa Carvalho, O Farol Paulistano newspaper is remembered as an important instrument of mobilization and political debate during the crisis of the First Kingdom (1822-1831) until the beginning of the Regency Period (1831-1840). The contents published in the newspaper ranged from official documents to varieties, trade information and advertisements in general, serving a wide readership, including readers in provinces such as Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro.

The periodicals edited by O Farol Paulistano letterpress printing shop consisted of a single sheet of paper printed and folded only once, a methgod known as ‘folio’, resulting in a publication with 4 pages of 21x31cm. Due to restrictions for obtaining new types (a fact signaled by the editor in the first issue of the journal), those responsible for the publications were quite conservative regarding the use of typefaces, especially in the early years, limiting themselves to a few variations of serifed fonts.
