let⋅ter⋅press/ˈlɛtərˌprɛs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [let-er-pres] –noun 1. the process of printing from letters or type in relief, rather than from intaglio plates or planographically.

Following this obsession with typography, surfing through wLT (We Love Typography) brought me back to browsing paperie.  Specifically, letterpress invitations.  I don't know how I could've overlooked it while we were preparing for our wedding.  Maybe my mind automatically closed its doors to it, knowing how expensive it would be (both in terms of time and money).

Anyways, just wanted to share the brilliant letterpress work of Dolce Press.  They range from the minimalist to the ornate.  But even the simplest typeface is touched with a level of class and elegance.  There's something about the detail and the effort that goes into the paper - I don't think it can be compared with any intricate digital design.  It's possibly the same way I feel about film.  Hehe.
