It's pretty much the only possible solution for the first word being a script style while containing a letter that has a descender. If you put the words 'ISN'T' and 'ABOUT' on either side of the descender, not only would you have imbalance due to the words being different lengths (4 and 5 letters respectively), but you would also have a confusing descender hanging awkwardly into the second line breaking the flow. Personally I think it was an astute solution that is also somewhat of a trademark of mine. Thanks for your feedback. =)
That f is my favourite part, I do think it's the best way to fit in the descender, which usually can be a tricky part or it could put the composition off. Really like the layout and quote.
Wow, Sean. This one is fantastic.. That composition! 'Life' being centered at the top like that is a perfect touch, really catches your attention and leads your eye nicely through the rest of the phrase.

This is Lovely! the only part im not to fond of is the way the "f" in "Life" interacts with the "A" in "About"

@Nick Heh, it's kind of funny because others specifically loved that part. Everyone has their own opinion it seems. =)

It would be really cool to do a run of colored letterpress prints, but I still have plenty of the last letterpress print I did, so I'm not sure.
