de Cyrano feather sigil

The House of the Feather

Eloquence, framed.

de Cyrano was founded on a simple conviction: that the right words, said once and said well, outlast almost everything. Our sigil is the white plume of Cyrano de Bergerac — the poet who won a heart with borrowed letters. The house now practises his trade openly: your story, written with panache and made permanent.

Every piece in the house is typeset by hand in the atelier style — archival paper, classical serifs, the burgundy plume seal — then printed as museum-grade art and named for the romance that commissioned it.

The Craft

Made to be re-read.

Archival cotton paper with deckled edges

Museum-grade paper

Archival matte stock printed at 300 dpi — made to hold its ivory for decades, not seasons.

The burgundy plume wax seal of the house

The plume seal

Every letter closes under the burgundy wax of the house — the white plume of Bergerac, pressed by hand.

Writing with the quill by candlelight

The Quill

Five questions, two minutes. Our writers find the words you couldn't — and nothing prints until you love every one.
