Letterform structure
of Chanson Reverie.
Chanson Reverie is a duo of a nostalgic ink-textured brush script and a tall skinny sans: the script carries a dry-brush edge with small skips, a shallow slant and joined letters, while the sans is narrow with blunt ends for the supporting lines. The ink texture is the design and fills in when the face is reversed or printed small on coated stock. The script needs roughly 24 mm and the sans 18 mm for their detail to read, and both are best in one dense ink on uncoated paper.

Perfume-maker identity, box print and bottle label
A dry-brush script with a skinny sans reads as a hand-labelled apothecary bottle rather than a corporate mark. The script holds at 26 mm on a label, and the sans sets the volume at 7 pt on the same artwork.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Bottle label 90 x 70 mm, script 26 mm with 8 mm edge clearance, sans 7 mm, 5 mm margins. Box print 150 x 100 mm, script 40 mm, sans 10 mm, 10 mm margins. Card 85 x 55 mm, script 16 mm, sans 8 pt, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 90 x 70 mm label wrapped on a curve pulls the script's dry edge past the die line. Pull the word in 4 mm and check one label on an empty bottle before the run.
Thank-you card, jar label and market tag
A dry-brush script reads as a written acknowledgement rather than a printed line. The texture holds at 22 mm on smooth card, and one ink prints the card, the label and the tag in one order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card A6, script 22 mm with 8 mm edge clearance, sans 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Jar label 70 x 45 mm, script 12 mm, 4 mm die margin. Market tag 50 x 90 mm, script 12 mm, 5 mm hole with 8 mm clear.
Pre-production check
A 70 x 45 mm jar label at 12 mm fills the dry-brush skips into a solid stroke on wet-strength paper. Raise the label to 16 mm, and check one labelled jar before the batch.
Invitation, menu and order of service
A nostalgic brush script gives a wedding a hand-signed invitation with typed details in one palette. The script signs the names at 28 pt, and the tall sans sets the timings at 9 pt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invitation 130 x 180 mm, names 28 pt with 10 mm edge clearance, details 9/13 pt, 15 mm margins. Menu 120 x 210 mm, header 16 pt, courses 9/12 pt. Order of service 105 x 148 mm, text 8/11 pt.
Pre-production check
At 8 pt in the order of service the ink texture turns to dirt and the text reads as stained. Raise the text to 9.5 pt, and proof one booklet before the set.

Welcome Holiday Duo
Welcome Holiday is a handwritten duo in black on cream: a flowing brush script with a low bounce for the first word and a condensed serif with curled terminals for the second, with tiny stars and a coloured banner beneath, so the pair reads as a seasonal card set rather than a single face.
