Briefpapier van drukkerij De Kroon te Hilversum 1900 - 1986

This letterhead from the De Kroon print shop in Hilversum is so fresh and clean. The design is minimal, all about clear communication, which I appreciate. There's something about the simple layout, the restrained use of color - just that touch of purple in the crown logo and the border - that speaks to me. It’s like the visual equivalent of a well-written sentence. The paper itself has a warm tone, like old newsprint. The typography is so satisfying. It reminds me that art isn't just about grand gestures or wild expressions; it's also about the quiet, thoughtful choices we make every day. That purple crown, with its little details, it’s like a drop of color in a sea of white. It reminds me a bit of the work of someone like Agnes Martin, who could do so much with so little. It's all about balance, about finding beauty in the ordinary.
