Studio note
A soft-arch (not oval, not circle—subtle asymmetry) embossed border frames the contact information in negative space. The duplex core shows at the die edge in Blush Pink, creating a sophisticated two-tone frame. The wordmark sits in the upper third, embossed shallow but readable. No printed ink; all hierarchy lives in depth and materiality. The card feels handcrafted, reserved, expensive.
