The story
Gmund Gold is twelve takes on one precious idea. Some sheets are bright and polished like a trophy, others carry a soft shimmer, a pale lime gold or a deep rich copper, and the coarser pigments sparkle like gold dust. The gold sits on the face while the back stays matt, so think about how a card will be seen from both sides. Screen printed matt white or a black foil looks spectacular on it. Use it where a little drama is the point: invitations, awards and gift boxes.
