Barbara Kua Calligraphy is a Toronto fine lettering studio. They do many event pieces such a wedding invitations and business cards. I chose this piece as the style of calligraphy writing matched with the red ink seems very elegant and suited for romance. The intimacy would have been lost in this invitation if the red lettering had been digital printed. I always find a certain innocence and delicacy in hand written wedding invitations. Love is one of the most human emotions a person can feel, so why should an invite to celebrate this union come from a digital source? The calligraphy in itself is delicate with much attention to detail. I like the smooth variation in the thickness of lines as it gives the invitation a refined and elegant feel, like the letterer really did pay attention to detail. I find that with mass produced invitations, they often lack effort and/or personality. Just by looking at the invite you can get a good idea about the love that these two people share.
