Designers Adam Gothelf and Alberto Rodríguez have created a collection of emotionless, blunt cards for almost every occasion. The two designers decided to make these greeting cards to fulfill to societal obligation of recognizing significant days without being over emotional.
The cards are best suited for those with a sense of sarcastic humor. They fulfill a variety of holidays and generic card-required events such as Mother's Day, thank you cards, get well cards, happy New Year's and birthday cards.
The cards are simple with a gray background and black border. The writing is clear, short and also written in black ink. An example of one of the blunt cards is the Mother's Day card that has an image of stick figures on the front of a mom and child. The card reads "maker appreciate day."
