We are Formidably Impressed, a crass + cordial greeting card company.

This little shop was founded in 2016 by two hustlers from Honolulu, Gavin and Cherish.

Their combined love of well-built old-school machinery, funky fresh lettering, and snarky asshole humor lead them to collaborate on a couple of letterpress printed greeting cards. The first two cards sold so well that they decided to partner on up thus forming Formidably Impressed.

During the thick of the pandemic in 2020, along with their individual families growing, Gavin and Cherish made the tough decision convert their letterpress printed greeting cards to flat-printing. As analog junkies they were pretty bummed, but this pivot was much needed for the continuation of Formidably Impressed.

Their card sayings are inspired by their everyday verbiage and their designs draw inspiration from lettering of vintage advertisements and signage from old Hawai'i. All of the products they offer are items used often within their home and work life.
