Font Love…

01/08/2009

I've been admiring this font – called Mary Read – recently. Inspired by the wind and the sea, the handwriting typeface combines harsh curves with graceful swashes:

I just think it's really pretty. Very similar to the lettering styles of some of my favorite calligraphers, and I like the quirky shape of the swooshes and ornaments. Available here, although sadly not for free…

Ink + Wit

01/07/2009

Thanks to Elisabeth, I’ve developed a mild obsession with linen napkins and tea towels. Lately, I’ve been admiring these fun linen tea towels from letterpress studio Ink + Wit. In addition to her own letterpress designs and prints, Tara Hogan, the creative force behind Ink + Wit, has designed a line of letterpress wedding invitations for wedding invitation studio Bella Figura. I love the use of hand-illustrated graphics, resulting in a simple and perfectly chic invitation:

Check out the full Tara Hogan line at Bella Figura, including more photos and a couple additional designs, right here.

The ever-talented Myra of Twigs & Honey has expanded her shop to include this gorgeous shrug – and I'm in love. I'm hoping someone snaps it up soon, otherwise I might be too tempted…

Wedding Invitations — Hammerpress

01/06/2009

With the holidays now behind us, it feels like a good time to start focusing on wedding invitations again. I’ve had Hammerpress bookmarked for a long, long time, and I couldn’t resist sharing a few of my favorites from their custom letterpress wedding invitations portfolio:

I love Hammerpress’s use of pattern details, from maps to damask, to help the personality of each couple shine through in the invitation. And as each invitation suite is entirely custom, Hammerpress would be a great option for any couple looking, as Hammerpress says on their website, “for something a bit out of the ordinary for your wedding day.”
