Clean, refined, and effortlessly modern, the Richmond Photo Ribbon Birth Announcement is defined by its classic sans serif typography — simple, confident, and beautifully balanced. The uncluttered letterforms allow baby’s name to stand out with clarity and intention.
Designed to feature a traditional wallet-size photograph in a horizontal layout, Richmond pairs modern typography with a timeless portrait in a way that feels fresh yet enduring. The simplicity of the font allows the photograph to take center stage, creating a look that is warm, polished, and never overly styled.
Finished with a hand-tied ribbon detail, this announcement offers a traditional presentation in a streamlined format. The ribbon adds subtle dimension and heirloom charm while preserving the clean silhouette of the design.
Equally beautiful for boys and girls, Richmond is one of our most versatile styles — modern without feeling trendy.
Tip from Jody: I love Richmond with a colorful portrait. The clean typography and a beautiful photo together always feel just right.
A modern classic designed to be treasured.
