A WCN card is dense, quiet, and tactile — ink on uncoated stock, one vermilion accent, and nothing it doesn’t need. The complete spec for format, both faces, stock, and print.

SIZE85 × 55 mm · (3.5 × 2 in US) STOCK600 gsm uncoated · duplexed SIDESFront: contact · Back: mark INK2 Pantone · vermilion ³ only

A01.1 · FORMAT

One size, sharp corners.

A01.2 · THE FRONT

Mark high, name low.

A01.3 · THE BACK

The mark, alone.

A01.4 · STOCK & FINISH

Heavy, uncoated, felt before read.

A01.5 · PRINT SPEC

Two inks, matched.

A01.6 · DON’T

The letterhead is the brand at its most formal — a fixed masthead, a generous typing zone, and a quiet footer that carries the legal weight. The complete A4 spec.

SIZEA4 · 210 × 297 mm ALTUS Letter · 216 × 279 mm MARGINS25 mm all sides INKInk + vermilion · 2 Pantone

A02.1 · FORMAT

A4 first, Letter as fallback.

A4 is primary; US Letter is the regional alternate with the same masthead and margins. A 25 mm margin frames the page and sets the baseline grid for typed content.

A02.2 · MASTHEAD

Mark top-left, fixed.

The mark sits top-left at 9 mm, with the wordmark beside it. A hairline rule separates the masthead from the body. The sender block, when used, aligns right on the same line.

A02.3 · BODY & SAFE ZONE

A calm place to type.

The body is set in Archivo at 10 pt on 15 pt leading. Line length is capped near 90 characters so letters stay readable. Content never enters the masthead or footer zones.

A02.4 · FOOTER

The fine print, in its place.

The footer carries registration, address and URL in 7 pt mono — small, aligned, and never competing with the body. One vermilion tick marks the start of the block.

The envelope is the first thing opened and the last thing read. A small return mark, a window-safe address zone, and a flap rule that keeps every format consistent — DL to C4.

DL110 × 220 mm C5162 × 229 mm RETURNTop-left mark WINDOWOptional · address-safe

A03.1 · FORMATS

DL and C5, plus C4.

DL holds a tri-folded A4 letter; C5 takes it flat; C4 carries unfolded reports. All three share the same return mark and address geometry.

A03.2 · RETURN MARK

Sender, top-left.

The return address sits top-left behind a small mark — the same lockup as the letterhead, scaled down. It never crosses into the address or franking zones.

A03.3 · ADDRESS ZONE

Where the name goes.

The recipient zone is centred low-right, sized to clear a window envelope. Keep it free of graphics so automated sorting reads cleanly.

A03.4 · FLAP & SEAL

A clean close.

The flap is plain on the outside; an optional vermilion tick or full ink inside rewards the open. Gummed or peel-seal — never a printed graphic across the seam.

The compliment slip is the smallest voice in the set — a third of A4, a single line of type, and just enough room for a sentence in pen. It carries the tone when a full letter is too much.

SIZE210 × 99 mm · ⅓ A4 COPY“with compliments” MARKTop-left · 7 mm STOCKMatches letterhead

A04.1 · FORMAT

A third of a page.

The slip is exactly one third of A4 so it trims from the same sheet with no waste. Landscape, with the mark and line set against a generous writing area below.

A04.2 · THE LINE

“with compliments.”

The single line is set in EB Garamond italic beside the mark — warm, human, lowercase. It is the only fixed copy; everything else is left for handwriting.

A04.3 · WRITING AREA

Room for a sentence.

The lower two-thirds stay empty — no lines, no pattern — so a handwritten note sits cleanly. Uncoated stock takes ballpoint and fountain pen alike.

A04.4 · STOCK

Same hand as the letter.

The slip shares the letterhead stock so a set feels deliberate. Uncoated, natural white, writable — never a different paper for the small piece.

No piece of stationery is seen more often than the email signature. It is HTML, not print — so it has to survive every client, stay small, and still read as WCN at a glance.

FORMATHTML table · inline CSS WIDTH320 px max MARK40 px · hosted PNG FONTSystem stack · web-safe

A05.1 · STRUCTURE

Tables, on purpose.

Email clients are decades behind the web, so the signature is a single HTML table with inline styles. No flexbox, no external CSS — it has to render in Outlook as well as Gmail.

A05.2 · NAME BLOCK

Name, role, contact.

Name in a serif-fallback bold, role in mono-fallback caps, contact in the body font. Email and URL are the only links — the URL in vermilion to echo the mark.

A05.3 · THE MARK

One small image.

The mark is a single hosted PNG at 40 px with descriptive alt text, so it still identifies the sender when images are blocked. Never the only carrier of the brand.

A05.4 · DISCLAIMER

Legal, kept quiet.

Any confidentiality line sits below in 11 px stone — present but never louder than the name. One signature, one disclaimer; no marketing banners stacked beneath.
