In every industry, competition for the attention and dollars of potential customers is fiercer than ever before. To compete effectively, reach new goals, and grow your business, you have to have powerful messaging that grabs customers for you and software solutions that make reaching out for new business easier.
We started and continue to operate in the beautiful and historic town of Havre de Grace, Maryland. Glyph was established in 2012 by our Creative Director Don Starr, when he acquired two traditional letterpresses and more than 48 cases of metal type. We have grown quite a bit over the last few years, but we're stuck to the same core values that helped us cater to our customers' needs from day one.
We make sure to put that same passion into your company, therefore, work with you one-on-one. We take into consideration every business goal and need. Do not hesitate to ask us anything, because no question is too small or big. Here at Glyph, we want you to stand out and achieve the level of success you and your business seek.
With customized digital marketing, design, and business management tools at our disposal Glyph Design Studio is equipped to help any business streamline its operations for the digital age, reach more customers, and improve its numbers. We are committed to growth, ROI, and great customer service. That is why we provide solutions tailored to your business's unique challenges.
Gone are the days of word-of-mouth being enough to push a business to the top. With so many competing firms in every market space and with newer generations primed to discover and interact with businesses online, today's business owners must have a plan in place to market their businesses on the internet if they are going to succeed.

We worked with Glyph Design on a Facebook ad campaign and website enhancement for our company. Not only was the overall experience top notch, our camp participation grew by 40 percent. Glyph also worked with us on new a logo design for a start up non profit. The collaborative experience from start to finish was fantastic. The logo is incredible, surpassing anything we could have imagined. Glyph Design is an amazing one stop shop for any creative or marketing tool businesses need to flourish in the social media or storefront world. We highly recommend Glyph Design!

I got some badass rocks glasses with crabs on them at Glyph, but if I had more time I would have enjoyed going through all the cards they had in stock. If you're ever in the market for a clever birthday card or something, this place will have you covered. They've also got a bunch of fountain pens and stationary and the man who rang me out today was extremely pleasant and took great care in making sure my "glasses made in home." Cool spot! (Literally.they had some refreshing AC that I needed today!)

Joe and Don were a pleasure to work with. I took a crazy idea I had in my head for a seating chart for my daughter's wedding and they were able to make it a reality. They knew exactly what materials, font, etc. to use to make it look exactly how I envisioned it. It looked beautiful and we had it in plenty of time before the wedding. I would recommend them they were very easy to work with. Thank you.

Glyph is a fabulous shop. Beautiful and innovative items for sale, much of it is not the same stuff you see everywhere else. The fellows who own the place are friendly helpful and knowledgeable as well. If you love paper, pens and writing supplies, get a second job to pay for all the stuff you will want to splurge on at Glyph. : Highly recommended.

Don and Joe were amazing to work with. They listened to my ideas and went to work with a great team and the results were rustic wedding programs, a bar menu, and table cards that were superb and perfect. I will be using them in the future and other occasions. It is my favorite store in HDG.

Walk into this store and you know you're in a special place. Quality everywhere, and the feel of something in London's Soho or the Left Bank. By itself, worth the drive to Havre de Grace.

This is a card/print/design shop run by two very nice guys. On the one side, it has a lot of very original and trendy cards for various occasions (these aren't your usual generic Hallmark cards), on the other side there are some nice crafts and books that you can buy as gifts. This is also a design studio, where Don can probably help custom design shirts, cards, and posters. Personally, I came into this shop for some last-minute printing of a wedding program and cards, and Don and Joe were very nice and accommodating.

Joe and Don are wonderful! Glyph is a beautiful store that is warm and welcoming. Their stock is filled with high quality products that are unique and creative. We have been working with them on our wedding invitations and have not only found exactly what we want but have enjoyed the process. We have presented them with a variety of challenges and each one was not only met but exceeded any expectations we may have had. We would highly recommend going to Glyph for any paper needs you may have!
