Studio note
Produced on Gmund Leather — Coal (deep near-black, leather grain) (300gsm). the cut edge carries the same colour. This concept balances boldness with modern sensibility, utilizing a thinner black stock for a crisp feel. The strong contrast of red metallic foil against the black paper creates immediate visual impact, while the modern grotesk typography for 'Chasing the Monolith' and the clean layout reflect a contemporary artistic brand. Gmund Leather — Coal (deep near-black, leather grain) is dyed through, so the colour runs the full thickness of the sheet — the cut edge shows solid black on its own. That's the edge treatment, and it costs nothing. This one spends the finish across a pattern as well as the mark — more presence on the shelf, and a higher stamping cost.
