I Love Letterpress

There's just something very special and pretty about letterpress stationary. I don't really know how it works, but my favorite designs are nice, neat, and even when the design is complex, there's always a basic beautiful simplicity to it. And printed on substantial but soft card stock paper. It's unassuming and humble in its origins, but the design possibilities can be intricate and sophisticated. If I were stationary, I'd want to be letterpress.
Juliet's wedding invites were letterpress, to those who might wonder about the look and feel (and who were invited.) Nice pick, sis.
Like anything in the world (people, cars, and art) there are likely very ugly and clumsy examples of this medium, but I'm transfixed by the better ones. I can certainly convince myself that letter writing should come back into style when I look at the Elum website.
