Studio note
Printed on Uncoated Smooth 32pt (Bright White) — an uncoated paper stock. Building on your bright white uncoated paper read, this elevated variation keeps your layout exactly intact while introducing a 2-color letterpress pass paired with matte gold edge painting. The compass star and dividing rule are struck in warm metallic Pantone 871 while firm Process Black anchors the firm name and contact lines. Rotating the card catches a subtle, crisp golden gleam along the 32pt edge that signals prestige before a single number is discussed. We run this press work in-house. This one spends the finish across a pattern as well as the mark — more presence on the shelf, and a higher stamping cost.
