Heavy soft serifs with large ball-ended looping swashes
Boho Stay
Boho Stay is a heavy soft serif in which the letters carry strong thick-thin contrast, the counters stay tight and large curled swashes with ball ends frame the capital, rise over the first row and sweep between the two title lines.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Boho Stay.
The B opens a tight counter on a thick stem, the swashes leave the capital and the word end in curls that finish in round balls, and the second row sits close enough for a sweep to pass between the lines. The ball-ended curl is the character: it softens a heavy serif without turning it into a script, which is why the sample sets the title over a spiral stair. Because the sweeps travel, the layout needs 24 mm at each end and 20 mm between rows from 30 pt. The stair photograph is presentation; the white lettering is the face.

Heading for a bohemian wedding
The curled swashes frame a pair of names, and the heavy serif keeps the line warm at 26 pt on heavy card in one ink. The heavy contrast survives a printed card better than a script would.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 180 mm card: set the names at 26 pt, keep 24 mm of clear card at each end for the ball-ended curls, and set the venue at 9 pt in a light serif beneath with 18 mm of clear ground.
Pre-production check
A ball end printed under 1 mm vanishes on textured card; check the proof and keep the curls at 24 pt or above.
Label for a candle studio
The soft serif suits a small label, and the tight counters stay open at 18 pt on a 50 mm round die in one colour. The tight counters are the detail to check on a small die.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 mm round label: set the studio name at 18 pt, drop the outer curls where the die is round, and set the scent in a 6 pt caps along the lower arc with 5 mm of clear ground.
Pre-production check
A curl cut by a round die looks like a printing fault; check the artwork and set the name without curls on the round label.
Card for a summer birthday
The heavy serif gives a card presence, and the curled ends keep a short greeting friendly at 34 pt across an A6 sheet. The curls give the greeting its gesture at card size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A6 card: set the greeting at 34 pt, keep 20 mm of clear card on both sides for the curls, and leave the lower third blank for a written message. Score the fold behind the type.
Pre-production check
A sweep printed into the blank writing area is smudged by a pen; check the card and keep 12 mm of white under the last curl.
