Studio Straus is an award-winning creative agency led by Annie Rickard Straus that specialises in inscribing (live event illustration), displays, lettering and illustration. They use the power and subtlety of image-making to convey corporate messages, unravel complex narratives and stimulate conversation.

The identity centres around using the typeface Halyard, whose characterful letterforms are reminiscent of sign-painting. On the front of the business card, the heavy weight of the text accentuates this character, listing the range of services Studio Straus offers.

The reverse of the card is much quieter, leaving space for Annie to embellish with striking illustrations, or to write down details at events.
