Paperfinger Calligraphy Brings Back Letters by Hand

— October 4, 2009 — Art & Design
With everything becoming so digitized, Paperfinger Calligraphy is a breath of fresh air. I’ve always held this romantic idea of living a more Victorian lifestyle, and it seems that founder Bryn Chernoff has as well.

Transitioning completely from black to white, Chernoff left the world of computer science to pursue her love of ink and paper. Brooklyn-based Paperfinger Calligraphy offers a human touch to anything from wedding invites to logo designs. Continuing to experiment with different mediums, make sure you check out her website after the gallery, there’s always something new with Paperfinger Calligraphy.

1. Handwritten Designs - The trend of handwritten designs is disrupting the traditional methods of graphic design and branding, offering a more personal touch to consumer products and branding materials.
2. Premium Calligraphy Services - The trend of offering premium calligraphy services presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses to elevate their branding and marketing materials with a personal touch.
3. Shift to Analog - The shift towards analog, as evident in the trend of paper-based calligraphy designs, showcases a disruptive opportunity for businesses to tap into the growing consumer desire for handmade, personalized products and experiences.
