Nocturnal Pulse Boxed Note Card Set

Nocturnal Pulse — Boxed Note Card Set

Nocturnal Pulse brings together broad, inky black forms and bands of vivid orange and warm coral. The shapes feel both rhythmic and grounded—as if a pulse has been slowed into a moment of stillness. 

Strong contrasts give the composition its power and definition, while the open spaces between the forms create a sense of calm.

Printed on quality paper with a smooth, substantial feel, the card is a pleasure to hold and gives your message a considered place to land. The artwork makes a striking first impression; the note inside makes it personal.

“A bold image for a thoughtful note.”

“Power in the color. Quiet in the spaces between.”

“Send a little stillness, with presence.”

Sample message from the sender

I love the way this artwork holds both strength and calm. It made me think of you, and I wanted to send it along with a note of my own.

Illustrative recipient reactions

“The art made me pause before I opened the card.”

“It feels bold and peaceful at the same time. I’m keeping it where I can see it.”

The story behind the colors

Orange and black have a long association with Princeton: orange was first recorded in use by Princeton students in 1867, and the University formally adopted orange and black in 1896. In Nocturnal Pulse, Jefferey Cornett gives the familiar palette a contemporary expression through contrast, shape, and rhythm
