Pressed & Folded is a creative studio in Somerset, founded by James and Malissa Brown. Working on their vintage Stephenson Blake galley proofing press—once used to proofread and correct typeset work—they now bring each design to life, one unique impression at a time.

Rooted in bold, playful aesthetics, their work blends typography, illustration, and colour to create designs that are as distinctive as they are joyful.
