Tapered ink-like calligraphy with a long crossing entry and returning tail
Amastay
Amastay is a tapered brush-calligraphy script in which the strokes thin toward their ends, the capital opens tall, a long entry crosses the first letter and the closing y returns beneath the word, so a name reads as wet ink on paper.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Amastay.
The A rises into a tall open form with a stroke that crosses it from the left, the lowercase keeps a light even body with tapered joins, and the y sends a tail back under the final letters before it lifts. The tapered ends are the character: the ink appears to run out rather than stop flat, which is why the sample sets one short word with nothing beside it. Because the entry and tail travel outside the word, a line needs 18 mm at the left and 16 mm beneath, and the joins weld into one path before cutting from 1.1 inches of x-height. The paper tone and the caption are presentation; the dark ink word is the face.

Name line for an invitation
The ink taper suits a handwritten name, and the long entry balances a short first name at 26 pt on heavy cream card stock.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 180 mm card: set the names at 26 pt, keep 18 mm at the left for the crossing entry and 20 mm beneath for the returning tail, and set the venue at 9 pt in a neutral serif below.
Pre-production check
A returning tail printed into a venue line tangles with the first word; check the proof and keep 16 mm of clear ground under the baseline.
Label for a small ink studio
The wet-ink look gives a label character, and the tapered joins stay readable at 20 pt on a 45 mm panel printed in one dark ink on a kraft base.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 65 mm label: set the studio name at 20 pt, keep 6 mm from each die edge so the entry stroke stays whole, and set the city in a 6 pt caps at the foot of the panel.
Pre-production check
A tapered join at 14 pt thins to nothing in print; check the plate proof and keep the name at 18 pt or above.
Card for a short note
The flowing script suits an affectionate line, and the light body keeps a short phrase personal at 30 pt on a folded card in one ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A6 card: set the line at 30 pt across the middle, keep 14 mm at each end for the entry and tail, and leave the lower half blank so a written message has room to run.
Pre-production check
Writing over a printed tail smudges the ink; check the card and keep the blank band clear of every descender.

Tall high-contrast script with an oversized B
Boho
Boho opens with an oversized narrow B that drops a deep lower bowl, the h lifts a tall loop and the two small o forms join through fine crossing connectors, so a single short name reads as a tall written line.

Heavy upright script with a heart dot
Thick
Thick is a heavy upright script in black over a pale textured ground: very fat even strokes, a tall narrow capital T drawn with a long bar, a heart in place of the dot on the i and a heavy leg on the k.
