02 / Wedding stationery / Letterpress

Invitations you can feel before you read them

Each piece of wedding stationery is hand-set in type and printed letterpress, so the letters sit pressed into the paper rather than on it. Tobias works one-on-one, as a single maker. Tell him about your day and start the conversation.

Watch the Heidelberg work

Tobias shares process videos from his 1950s Heidelberg platen press: type being locked up, ink on the rollers, paper meeting metal. It is the quickest way to see how the work is made.
