Having entered the then Liga Capitalina in 1928, the team won three local titles between 1938 and 1940. Between 1937 and 1941, they had a streak of 51 matches scoring at least one goal. The team also won three official championships between 1943 and 1953. After Municipal
won the first Liga Mayor championship in 1943, Tipografía won back-to-back titles in the 1943 and 1944-45 tournaments, being undefeated during the first one, collecting eight wins and two draws. Tipografía and Municipal engaged in the first known rivalry in the league, which faded after Comunicaciones and Municipal became the two most dominant clubs and each other's arch-rival.
Tipografía also finished as league runner-up once, and won one domestic cup. In 1981, they finished at the bottom of the table, being relegated to the "B" division (now Primera División
). They earned promotion back to the Liga Mayor after two seasons, but suffered relegation again in the 1992-93 season; due in good part to lack of financial support, the team continued descending to lower categories, until it ultimately disappeared in 2002.
Its uniform colours were red-and-white vertical striped shirt and blue shorts.
