The story
Acquerello takes its name from watercolour paper, and you can feel why the moment it is in hand. Both sides carry a soft felt marking pressed in on the paper machine, giving a gentle, irregular grain that catches the light like a painter's sheet. It comes in a clean Bianco and a warm Avorio, from light writing weights up to a 390 gsm board. That texture loves letterpress and blind deboss, and gives foil a quietly handmade edge on invitations, letterheads and gift packaging.
