Six recent things we are willing to take credit for.

A working list. Some are years in the making, some shipped last month. All six are projects where the client gave us enough room to do the work properly, and we are quietly grateful for it.

Mailerine Press · 2025

Mailerine

A complete identity rework for a fifteen-year-old letterpress in Kumasi, including a wood-type-inspired display face and a quietly assertive new website.

"They sent us a single proof. We changed two commas. It went to print. I have never had that experience with a design studio in twenty years of running this press."

An archive, not a portfolio.

The six above are the work we'd start a conversation with. We have a fuller archive of book interiors, identity systems, and motion pieces going back to 2017. If you'd like to see something specific — packaging, signage, type — write to us and we'll send a curated PDF rather than make you scroll.
