Studio note
Instead of splitting the wordmark and type into two separate finishes, both are debossed together into the cotton, creating a cohesive tactile landscape. The deboss is deep enough to cast a shadow, so even in soft light the card reads as substantial. The oxblood backer becomes pure frame—no competing ink—letting the cotton's texture and the deboss relief do all the talking.
