Right-leaning fine capitals with long curved diagonal endings and high contrast
Amori is a fine capital serif in which the letters lean to the right, the diagonals run out into long curves and the contrast between stems and hairlines is extreme, so a single word reads as a refined calligraphic mark.

Crisp hairline serifs shine on stationery, foil stamping, and packaging; add slight offset for small decals.
Visual anatomy & craft review
The A carries a hairline left stroke and a heavy right, the M shows three heavy verticals with fine joins, the O closes an oval counter and the R finishes its leg in a curve that continues past the letter, all at a light overall weight with a rightward lean across every character. The leaking diagonals are the character: the legs of the A and the R extend into fine curves, which is what lets four letters fill a wide plate without extra ornament. Because the hairlines are real hairlines, the face wants 26 pt minimum and a coated stock. The cream ground, the dark ink, the four small caption blocks are presentation; the serif is the word shown.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Amori’s stroke geometry.
The leaning capitals give a mark the register of a French label, and the fine curves still read at 16 pt on a coated carton.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 70 mm coated carton panel: set the brand at 16 pt, set the volume in a 5 pt caps sans beneath, and keep 6 mm of margin so the curved leg of the R is not cut by the panel edge.
Pre-production check
Hairlines under 0.12 mm drop out on a carton board; check a printed dummy and thicken the hairlines rather than the heavy stems.
The leaning word fills an opening spread at 84 pt, and the extreme contrast gives the pages a couture calm rather than a newsy shout.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 spread: set the title at 84 pt across the left page, set the standfirst in a 10 pt serif at 14 pt leading, and hold 20 mm below the title so the curved leg does not touch the text column.
Pre-production check
A long curved leg can cross a column rule; check the imposed spread and lift the title rather than shortening the curve.
The fine capitals read on a tall bottle label at 14 pt, and the lean gives a small label the composure of a couture house at retail.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 35 by 85 mm coated label: set the name at 14 pt, set the concentration in a 4.5 pt caps sans at the foot, and keep 5 mm of margin so the curve of the R sits on the flat of the label rather than on the bottle curve.
Pre-production check
A curved label distorts a fine diagonal; check one labelled bottle and keep the lettering inside the flat central band.
