GET: Letterpress Stationery


I am obsessed with paper. I adore stationery, fonts, colours and fine textures. The most divine form of printing is known as letterpress, which dates back centuries. Letterpress was first invented in the 1400's, and remains the finest form of printing. A true delight in life is to have personalized stationery, a form of expression that says so much about a person. Whatever happened to sending a handwritten note? Emails, texts, bbm's are so impersonal and quite frankly are just plain ugly. Consider exploring an art form that endured for centuries - check out some of my favourite letterpress printers:
