This is a set of letterpress notecards personalized with your initials handset in metal type and printed one at a time on lovely thick card stock on an antique printing press in a colour of your choice. The printing process transfers the ink to the paper by pressing the inked type into the paper surface leaving an impression that you can feel!
The images show a variety of options to give you an idea of how the cards will look. All available characters for the typeface and colour options for ink and envelopes are shown in the final images.

The typeface is Lexington, designed by Wadsworth Parker in 1926, with a 19th century style. It is wonderfully detailed with fine shading and playful loops and curls.
Cards are printed specially for you after the order is placed and so it will be approximately 1-3 weeks before they ship. Smaller quantities usually ship on the quicker end of the spectrum since they take less time to print and I can often squeeze them into the schedule sooner. If you need them by a specific date contact me before ordering and I'll let you know if a faster turnaround is possible.
