Size Guide
Each Framio piece is designed with generous margins and balanced typographic spacing so the words retain their quiet presence.
For visual balance, hang the artwork so the center sits approximately 145–155 cm from the floor.
Allow surrounding wall space so the margins remain visible and the typography can breathe.
Format Guide
Framio pieces are available in two formats: digital download ready for professional printing and framed print ready for hanging and display.
