This text is an account of an encounter with Mestre Zuca, a typographer and employee of the Federal University of Acre (UFAC). This encounter led to the conversations recorded here about his career, his training and his dedication to the UFAC Printing House over the decades. The report is based on an interview conducted in January 2024 and aims to share the story of this master and spark discussions based on it. At stake here are issues relating to typography and graphic crafts in the context of public universities in Brazil, as well as the possible relationships between the forest and graphic creation, specifically the relationship between the Printing Office and the Zoobotanical Park, both sectors of UFAC.
