Fenner Paper Diary 2024

If you are a user of the Fenner Paper ranges and therefore one of our wonderful customers, you may well have already received one of our new 2024 diaries...

This year’s cover has been created by Oswin Tickler, a designer and lecturer based in London. Oswin’s initial experiments with code as a means of generating variable digital print were developed into the software HP Spark by HP Indigo. The result is that each cover is totally unique, generated by HP Spark.

Which one will you get...?

The 4pp cover is printed on our Creative Print, Diamond 270gsm using an HP Indigo digital press. The 40pp text is printed in one colour, 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.

The diary has been designed by long term collaborator and friend David Coates an independent designer and director of ISTD.  As in previous years, the diary is 230x162mm, portrait and retains the popular 'month to view' format.

The typeface used is BWord (2.0) designed by Matt Willey which is available through Buy Fonts Save Lives.

Buy Fonts Save Lives sells typefaces to raise money to support Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support. 100% of the proceeds go to the charities and to date, over £115,000 has been raised!

Founded by Paul Harpin in memory of his niece Laura who sadly died from cancer, aged just 26. We’re delighted to support and help promote the initiative with our diaries. Any purchases of the fonts help to raise vital funds that literally save lives.

If you are one of our worthy clients (!), you should be receiving one of our diaries in the post. If you want to make sure you are in our address book, drop me an email: justin@fennerpaper.co.uk. For people who aren't customers, they will be available to purchase through an online store.
