These minimal Mabel and Co greetings cards and boxes are hand letterpress printed on a treadle-powered press, built around 1860 and, following restoration, still going strong some 160 years later.
These small but perfectly formed greeting cards are typeset in Futura, a typeface created between 1924 and 1927 by German designer Paul Renner. Strongly reflecting the Bauhaus influence of the time, it nevertheless is still widely used for print and digital design today over 90 years later.
Mabel & Co
Working from an old wheelwright's shop in Suffolk, Mabel & co is a designer-maker studio focused on sustainability and traditional craft practices. At the heart of the Mabel & co print room is a restored 160-year-old printing press that works busily printing beautiful stationery.
