La Squadra
Every caffè has a staff photo on the wall behind the register. Ours has five people and a gap.
The cards
- BEA, LA BARISTA
- TINO, IL MECCANICO
- SIGNORA PINA, ALLA CASSA
- RISTRETTO, IL GATTO
- IL NIPOTE, IL SITO
- IL ROSSO, with no picture at all, just TORNO SUBITO where his face would go
Each card is the character's illustrated portrait over a name line and a role line, with the full logo on the back. Playing-card size, printed six to a sheet with the backs on the second page.
They are drawn, and none of them is real. Neither is the caffè. The sixth card is the most accurate one in the set.
Il nipote
One PDF, two US letter pages: six fronts, then six backs lined up for double-sided printing, the grid inside the area A4 shares with letter, with crop marks at 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Print both sides at 100 percent on card at 300 gsm, flip on the long edge, and trim on the marks. Scale it and the backs drift, and then Pina's card has Tino's back.
The link is on the confirmation page and in the receipt email, both the moment the order settles. It works on any device and stays live for a year.
Nothing ships, so no address is asked for. Keep the receipt email. People delete it and then write to me.
Printed all six and pinned them up above the coffee maker. The empty one for the owner made me laugh.

Lovely illustrations. I printed them at double size so they'd read from across the room.
