Letterform structure
of Adorn Stylish.
Adorn Stylish is a slanted modern calligraphy script with tall narrow loops, a deep y descender and sweeping entry and exit swashes on lowercase letters, so a name reads as written with a brush pen at speed. The swashes extend the word at both ends, which the layout must allow for, and the narrow loops need size to stay open. It needs roughly 22 mm for the loops and swashes to read, and it is best in jet black on textured white or as a fine foil on matte stock.

Boutique label, packaging card and shop sign
A slanted calligraphy script reads as a maker's own hand, which is what a small boutique prints on a label. The swashes give a short brand name movement on a 70 mm label, and the fine weight foils at 14 mm on smooth stock.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Label 70 x 45 mm, name 12 mm with 8 mm swash clearance, 4 mm die margin. Card 85 x 55 mm, name 9 mm, role 5.5 pt. Sign 600 x 200 mm, word 90 mm, 40 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 12 mm label closes the narrow loop into a solid dot in flexo and the swash becomes a smear. Print digitally or keep the name at 16 mm, and check one applied label on a box.
Modern invitation, menu and welcome sign
Swashy calligraphy reads as a name written on the invitation rather than engraved, which is what a relaxed wedding wants. The narrow loops give a long surname elegance at 26 mm, and the entry swash frames a short first name on a place card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invitation 120 x 180 mm, names 26 mm with 10 mm swash clearance, details 9/13 pt, 15 mm margins. Menu 120 x 210 mm, header 16 pt, dishes 9/13 pt. Sign 600 x 900 mm, names 90 mm, 25 mm frame clearance.
Pre-production check
The exit swash runs to the card edge and is trimmed when the card is cut from a parent sheet. Keep 10 mm of clear card beyond the swash, and check one cut card before the suite.
Love-note card, keepsake print and gift tag
Brush-pen script reads as a written declaration, which is what an anniversary gift needs. The deep y descender and swashes give a short message a decorative frame, and the face holds in one ink on a 210 mm print.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card 120 x 170 mm, greeting 24 mm with 8 mm swash clearance, message 8/12 pt, 14 mm margins. Print 210 x 297 mm, greeting 55 mm, 30 mm margins. Tag 40 x 70 mm, word 8 mm with a 4 mm hole and 6 mm clear card.
Pre-production check
A 40 mm tag cannot hold a swash plus a punch and the flourish is cut by the hole. Use the plain entry on small tags, and check one strung tag before the batch.
