Rustin Jessen, a designer and developer for Entertainment at Disneyland, and a Walt Disney aficionado at-large has created a replica of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in California with the sole use of Ale Paul's Affair typeface. So, it's as replica as far as ligatures allow. After carefully placing what look like thousands of letters, Rustin has produced a lovely letterpress poster for either Disney or typographic enthusiasts.
Through August 1, the poster is available at a discount for $100 and will go for $125 after that.

Comments
wow this is really nice! I have the impression that the letters are raining down or are in movement.
Interesting, but nowhere even close to the caliber of Cameron Moll's letterpress type design of the temple in Salt Lake:

True that.
Ethan - I thought the exact same thing when I saw it... (See!) Having seen Moll's first, this just looked like child's play. haha.
Over all still a nice piece. Mostly cause letter press is the coolest!
