Studio note
A subtle shift in craft: the monogram prints front-side letterpress into a duplex stock where the back ply is a warm cream cotton, so the relief shows as a soft shadow. The back side reverses—navy letterpress onto the white face of the duplex. This gives two different tactile experiences: a ghosted impression on front, a confident bite on back. Same one navy ink, deeper thinking about what letterpress can do.
