Medium-weight joined script with a looped capital
Calligraphy
Calligraphy is a medium-weight joined script whose capital C lifts a wide loop before it closes, and whose tall l, l and g keep the word in a single even rhythm.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Calligraphy.
The C opens with a long rising stroke that loops back over itself at the top before it turns into the bowl, which is the one elaborate gesture in the word. From there the a, l, l, i, g, r, a, p, h and y run in a consistent medium weight with joins at mid-height, ascenders in the two l's that clear the x-height by a third, and a g whose descender closes into a loop that returns to the baseline rather than stopping short. The script is set in black on a spiral-bound notebook page, and the ruled page behind it does the job a grid would in a layout: it shows how much of the word sits above and below the line. The tracked label at the top, the two-line caption beneath and the spiral binding are presentation rather than alphabet.

Invitation header for a small ceremony
A medium weight holds up on both letterpress and digital print, which matters when a couple orders a small run and cannot afford to reprint a header that filled in or greyed out.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the header at 30 pt on a 5 by 7 inch card, keep the names and date in a light serif beneath at 9 pt, and hold 12 mm between the lowest loop of the g and the first line of details.
Pre-production check
The g and y descenders reach far below the baseline; measure the space under the header from the lowest point of those loops, not from the letters beside them.
Label for a stationery brand
A joined script with a looped capital gives a paper brand a mark that looks written with the same tools it sells, and the medium weight survives being printed small on a belly band.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Keep the brand name at 13 pt on a 45 mm band, set the product line in a plain sans at 6 pt under it, and leave 4 mm at each end so the entry loop of the capital is never trimmed by the die.
Pre-production check
Belly bands crease where they wrap; place the crease between two letters rather than through the capital's loop, or the mark will break at the fold.
Thank-you card for a workshop
A written-looking header suits a card sent after a class, and the even weight means the greeting can be printed on the same cheap card stock as the handouts without looking out of place.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the greeting at 22 pt on an A6 card, keep the message in a serif at 10 pt with 5 mm of space under the loop of the g, and leave the lower half plain for a handwritten line.
Pre-production check
Printed script beside handwriting invites comparison; check that the printed weight is either clearly lighter or clearly heavier than the pen used to sign the card.

Heart-accented bold calligraphy

Heavy high-contrast looped calligraphy with swashed capitals and tight fit
Calligraphy
Calligraphy is heavy high-contrast looped lettering in which the capitals carry wide swashes, the stems are thick and the joins are hairline, so a single word reads as a drawn flourish rather than a written line.

Heavy heart-dotted brush script
Smitten
Smitten is a heavy brush script in charcoal on pink: fat rounded strokes, tight loops, a heart in place of the dot on the i and a long entry stroke that runs in from the left before the first letter.
