Southern Stationery Ranks Best Invitations in Birmingham!!

15 May, 2014

Brantley Pearson Bowden, owner, designer and printer at Southern Stationery ranks Best Invitations in Birmingham!!

Letterpress is unique among all printing processes, sought after for its elegance, impeccable quality and Southern nostalgic feel. For ages, letterpress printers around the world have flocked to this age old technique!  In our studio we use a huge Chandler & Price Old Style treadle letterpress made in 1885 (do that math), a smaller Kelsey table press for demonstrations and we also have a larger 10 x 15 Kluge auto feed for larger commercial projects.  Want a four color process? . . . we can also flat print.

We create all types of invitations from conception and design, cards, social stationery and limited edition art prints.

We've been busy at Southern Stationery!!

Fonts vs. the art of beautiful penmanship

Introducing Mary Catherine Folmar of Cotton + quill,

custom calligraphy / illustrations / textile designer

Mary Catherine's loose calligraphy is one of a kind, cheery and graceful.


Fonts are typefaces that have multiple weights and styles, there's lots of them out there and that's what this column will focus on every Friday on the Blog. But we can't pay homage to the art of typography without first saluting the original form of the art; beautifully handwritten penmanship....it is, after all, where most fonts get their birth.  There's nothing more personal than your very own art and whether you start with a carefully drawn monogram or a commissioned piece for your letterpressed wedding invitation, or even commission your very own stationery art!!! - nothing- nothing - nothing-compares to something original.




Giddy about New Fonts!!!

Introducing FONT FRIDAY!!!!!

OK...granted, today is Thursday -- but we just couldn't contain the excitement any longer!!  It's no secret we LOVE FONTS over here at SouthernStationery!! Might even be considered a slight addiction by those of us designers who relish playing with typography in the custom announcements, invitations and stationery pieces we're always designing for our clients.  So... starting tomorrow, we will be introducing a NEW FONT EVERY FRIDAY that we will now be carrying in our lines. The possibilities are endless!!!!!  Let us know your favorites!!!
