Fenner Paper 2020 Diary

If you are a wonderful customer and therefore a deserving user of our papers! ... you will be receiving your new 2020 diary in the post this week. Here's a sneak preview...

As in previous years, the diary is 230x162mm, portrait and retains the popular 'month to view' format. The cover board is printed offset litho in just one colour - silver pantone colours 877 on three shades of Colorset 100% Recycled 270gsm - Nero, Solar and Mango - which one will you get???

This year we have collaborated with international typeface designers Dalton Maag who have created the cover. The typeface chosen is Calmetta and using 'glyphs' of 0 and 2 in different weights, they have created the cover image, which is stunning. My thanks to the wonderful team at the London studio of Dalton Maag, who were a pleasure to work with.

The 40pp text is set in Calmetta Light and is simply printed in one colour, offset litho, on our lovely Offenbach Bible 60gsm, which has a superb opacity and a good writing surface making this an ideal paper for a diary or notebook.

Tucked into your diary is also a handy Stardream desk calendar to remind you that the Stardream range of pearlescent and metallic papers from Cordenons in 32 shades is available through Fenner Paper...

Central School of Speech and Drama

I just thought that this might be of interest, even though it's a type only, one colour job!

Studio8 have designed the new identity for The Central School of Speech and Drama based in Swiss Cottage (London NW3). The new identity was launched in February this year.

Studio8 created a new typeface for the identity and then worked with Bruno Maag at Dalton Maag to realise the font into a workable typeface.

The new typeface was then tested using a variety of different weights and by printing offset litho on a range of different papers (including some which weren't even ours!). I picked some of these "overs" up the other week - which are printed on Redeem 100% Recycled, 100gsm and I think they look rather good just as they are...
