Very tall contrast handwriting with long horizontal swashes and fine joins
Brittany Writing
Brittany Writing is a very tall handwriting script in which the ascenders run far above the x-height, the joins stay fine and both capital letters carry long horizontal swashes that lift the word off the line.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Brittany Writing.
The capital B opens with a tall looped stem and the first word runs in a narrow band, with the double l rising into high loops above the smaller letters and the i keeping a light dot placed well clear. The capital W of the second word repeats the gesture on a wider span, and its swash extends past the letter body as a fine horizontal stroke. Weight is heavy on the downstrokes and hairline on the joins, so the tall letters read as drawn with a pointed pen rather than with a marker. That contrast is the fragile part: it needs a coated stock and a size of 20 pt or more. The white plate, the fountain pen, the sparkles and the small banded caption are presentation; the script is the two words.

Card front for an intimate wedding
The tall reach gives a small card presence without ornament, and the fine joins keep both names readable at 22 pt across a landscape format.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 148 by 105 mm card: set both names at 22 pt on one line, set the date in a 7 pt caps serif beneath, and leave 17 mm of margin at each side so the capital swash finishes inside the trim rather than running off the edge.
Pre-production check
A hairline join under 0.12 mm breaks on uncoated stock; ask the printer for the minimum line and thicken the joins rather than the downstrokes.
Mark for a calligraphy teacher
The pointed-pen contrast carries the craft the teacher sells, and the tall letters still read at 15 pt on a card where a flatter script would look generic.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 90 by 55 mm card: set the name at 15 pt across the upper third, set the classes in a 6 pt caps sans below, and keep 10 mm of clearance under the descender so the swash does not collide with the contact block.
Pre-production check
At 15 pt the hairline joins can disappear on a laser printer; check one printed card and move the name onto the coated stock if the joins break.
Menu header for a plated dinner
The tall script gives a menu a ceremonial head while the dish list stays quiet, and the contrast survives at 26 pt on a coated card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A5 menu: set the header at 26 pt, set the courses in a 9 pt serif at 13.5 pt leading, and hold 13 mm below the swash before the first course line so the fine stroke does not sit on the dish names.
Pre-production check
A long swash over a printed list reads as a rule rather than a letter; check the menu at final size and shorten the swash on the second capital.
