Typeface Postcard Project

I selected Ed Benguiat's ITC Edwardian Script for this project because of the flowing, almost musical strokes of the letterforms. The Edwardian Script is delicate with long and curving strokes that have the look of handwriting on very old documents.

I chose to use the letters "E" and "B" because they are the designer's initials. After several experiments with different paper stocks and colors, I selected a marbleized stationary paper for the project for the color and texture it gives the project. I used Arial at 11 points for the copy on Ed Benguiat for its simplicity; it does not compete with artistic typography of the project. Click on the image for information on Ed Benguiat.
