Everything you have been sent was drawn with one pen. It is written down here so that anything you add on the night — a card for somebody who turned up, a label on a jar — still looks like it came from the same hand.
One ink. Risograph, so the red sits ON the paper rather than in it, and where it is pressed harder it goes deeper — that variation is the process being honest, not a fault. The cream is the butcher paper the tables are covered with. There is no second colour, and there is nothing metallic.
There is no crest and no monogram. The drawing is the mark — and every object in it is something that will actually be in the room: the turkey on the oval platter, the bottle somebody always turns up with a ribbon on, the serving spoons, the good glasses, the squash. Nothing on these pieces is a generic autumn graphic, and nothing should be added that is not genuinely going to be on the table.
Risograph in one ink on uncoated natural stock. No foil, no embossing, no finishing of any kind. It is meant to look like a felt-tip drawing photocopied twenty-two times, and it costs accordingly — that is the point rather than a compromise.
This is your event's visual identity. If you make anything yourselves, use these exact colours and these two typefaces — the restraint is the design.

Butcher-paper cream — the sheet · Marker red — the one ink · Marker red, pressed harder · Cooked brown — the reading colour · Paper shadow, in that order.
Chewy and Caveat are both free and open-source, and both are on Google Fonts — search the name, install the family, or pick it straight from the font menu in Canva, Google Docs or Word. You do not need a licence and you do not need to ask us.
Your locked palette is the source of these, and the ones beyond it were read off your delivered pieces — if you want those confirmed against the press proof, ask the studio.
