Knockout and Sentinel by Hoefler & Frere-Jones
With an invitation inspired by the menus of some of their favorite restaurants and the beautiful restoration of the old factory building they would be married in, Bryan and Christina’s letterpressed card is something to hold and behold. Ken Rabe had a couple of concerns when putting the design together, but those were quickly resolved when working closely with his printer.
The registration of the drop shadow on the larger type and the stripes that create the border were my two concerns while designing Bryan and Christina’s invites.
To be safe, Lynne (the printer) recommended a generous amount of space in between the type and shadow and was nice enough to run a test to find out what
line weight would hold up best.
