A family birth-years print: four years set large down the sheet, a name under each and the song of that year beneath it, under the family's name.
Shown: the Thompson family, four of them, with the song of each year.

The faint “preview” marks are on this screen only — your print arrives without them.

The years we were born

From $30.00

The family's birth years, set big, with your names and your family name — in twelve kinds of figure, eight layouts and six colourways, on paper you choose. Two to eight of you. And if you like, each year on a panel of that year's own newspaper.

Not just the numbers

The family look stays — four or five numerals over a surname — then earns its place on the wall: under every year sits something that actually happened in it, from an archive we keep of every year since 1925.

  • Years and names, in your style. Start from the classic serif stack, retro colour figures, earth tones, a minimal sans or a script family name, then make it yours. Or choose The newspaper: each year standing on a panel of its own paper, every headline and fact from that year set as faded newsprint, drawn from our archive of 1925 to 2025.
  • The years, big. Choose the numeral style, layout, colours, lettering and printed texture. Retro figures in five colours, editorial serifs in one ink, a ledger of names and years, or two columns for a big family.
  • Two to eight of you, in a minute. Type a name and a year for each person. Names can stay blank; the family name can too. The preview redraws as you type, and you approve the exact sheet before anything is printed.

Questions

Which years does it cover?
Every year from 1925 to 2025. We build the archive a year at a time and only add a year once it has finished, so 2026 joins after it ends. A year outside that still prints, but without its panel.
Where do the clippings come from?
From the same year archive as our newspaper print: a checked record for each year of what made the news, what topped the charts, what things cost, who was in charge and who was born. Nothing is written for the occasion, and the photographs, if you choose them, are the year's own.
Do I have to add names?
No. Leave every name blank and it becomes the classic years-only print; add them and each sits under its year in small capitals.
