Palo Alto, Calif. – Many graphic designers who have a passion for print are particularly drawn to elegant typography and artwork from days gone by.

On June 13, 2024, renowned French designer MR CUP (aka Fabien Barral) will reveal how he has turned his lifelong passion for vintage illustration, “found” ephemera and stunning type treatments into a range of letterpress creations – including a successful calendar series – beloved throughout the world. (Tickets are just $39 and include an exclusive Print Sample Box shipped to attendees’ doorsteps.)

“I’m always amazed by the way Fabien’s work appears both retro and modern at the same time,” explains PaperSpecs Founder Sabine Lenz, “while always maintaining a look that’s uniquely his own.”
