Classic with a modern sensibility, our Heath Layered Birth Announcement blends old-school tradition with thoughtful, updated design.
This announcement features a timeless shaded serif font paired with a clean, contemporary sans serif — a striking contrast that allows the shaded lettering to truly stand out. The intentional font mixing gives Heath a fresh perspective, bringing a traditional birth announcement into the present in a way that feels refined rather than trendy.
Printed on luxurious, archival-quality paper and finished with a coordinating layered backing, Heath is elevated further with a hand-tied ribbon detail. The dimensional construction gives the piece substance and presence — reminiscent of heirloom announcements kept for generations.
Especially fitting for families who appreciate classic typography but want something slightly more tailored and modern, Heath feels both distinguished and current.
Tip from Jody: I love leaning into the contrast on this design — choosing a rich, classic ink color allows the shaded font to shine while the clean sans serif keeps everything feeling fresh.
A timeless announcement with a confident point of view.
