The second stamp portraying a Finnish National Park is the Southern Finlands Torronsuo in Kanta-Häme. Looks a bit like Serengeti, doesn’t it?
The wretched pine was photographed by Petri Volanen.
We used metallic creyish blue on uncoated paper stock to give the envelope a humid, swamp-like feeling making Crane (and the FDC text) gently disappear into the mist.
The first day stamp depicts a simplified boardwalk. The typeface used throughout the Torronsuo ensemble is our very own Vessel Slab Serif.
