TYPE LOVE / 03

I'm smack dab in the middle of wedding invitation season. That means I get to rationalize endless Internet / Pinterest searches for pretty wedding things, and call it work.

This season, the majority of my clients are all about gold, and I'm certainly not one to argue with that. Gold is sophisticated yet versatile, and when paired with calligraphy, it makes for seriously stunning wedding invitations. I love how there's so many styles of calligraphy—each one different than the next, and each one with their own distinct personality. I haven't calligraphed anything in awhile, so it's been nice to hit nib to paper again ( sneak peek here ).

With that, I'm off to warm up my wrist + hand-letter a very special save the date ( not my own, I assure you ). Make it a happy Monday, friends.

TYPE LOVE / 2

Food-Type

I've always hated health magazines that claimed healthy eating to be so easy in the summer. Fresh produce! Farmer's markets! All the veggies you could ever want in the world! I don't know about you, but all summer does is make my sweet tooth mammoth in size. Ice cream, strawberry shortcake and any pie I can get my hands on at every weekend BBQ, please and thank you.

Naturally, that means my willpower is negative one million five hundred twenty-seven thousand three hundred and thirty-three right now, and all I can think of is doughnuts.

And pretty typography.

So here you go : doughnuts and typography. Story of my life.

February is here, and that means I am getting ready to embark on a few new design projects involving hand-drawn type. IT'S MY FAVORITEST THING EVER.

Two of the projects are wedding invitations ( yup, we're going there again ), so I've been culling necessary inspiration over the past few weeks to get me started. My focus for the invitations is gorgeous typography that's serenely beautiful and offers a bit of quirk. It just so happens both clients fit that bill...which happens to my bill...which will hopefully result in my bills getting paid.

Oh yes, happy Monday to me.
