Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Christmas Holly.

Christmas Holly is a clean upright holiday brush script with a dozen bonus ornaments: an even loaded stroke on a nearly vertical axis, joined letters, blunt flicked terminals and a small bounce that keeps the line from looking typed. The ornament set adds drawn berries, holly leaves, ribbons and frames cut to the same weight, so a tag can be decorated without a second family or a separate illustration. The upright axis reads as formal on a card while the ornaments carry the seasonal colour, and both share one ink so a set prints in a single pass. The script needs roughly 24 mm and the ornaments 22 mm for their detail to read.

Christmas

Gift tag, card and jar label

A clean upright brush script with one ornament set lets a tag carry a name and a sprig from the same file. The script holds at 22 mm on a tag, and one ink prints the tags, the cards and the labels in one pass.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Tag 50 x 90 mm, script 22 mm with 8 mm flick clearance, ornament 22 mm, 5 mm hole with 8 mm clear. Card A6, script 26 mm, 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Jar label 70 x 45 mm, script 12 mm, 4 mm die margin.

Pre-production check

A 70 x 45 mm jar label at 12 mm closes the flick into a blob and the name reads as a smear on wet-strength paper. Raise the label to 16 mm, and check one labelled jar before the batch.

Thank you

Thank-you card, market tag and wrap band

A clean brush script reads as a written acknowledgement rather than a printed line, which is what a maker wants in the bag. The script holds at 22 mm on a card, and one ornament prints the corner in the same ink.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Card A6, script 22 mm with 8 mm flick clearance, ornament 24 mm in the corner, 8/11 pt note, 12 mm margins. Market tag 50 x 90 mm, script 20 mm, 5 mm hole with 8 mm clear. Wrap band 200 x 40 mm, script 16 mm, 6 mm margins.

Pre-production check

On a 200 x 40 mm band the script crosses the fold and splits when the band is wrapped. Keep the word 8 mm clear of the crease, and wrap one band before the order.

Winter

Winter-market sign, price card and bag print

An upright brush script reads as a hand-painted market board rather than a printed menu. The script holds at 70 mm on a board, and one ink prints the board and the price cards in one order.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Board 600 x 900 mm, script 70 mm with 10 mm flick clearance, items 26 mm, 30 mm margins. Price card 105 x 75 mm, item 18 mm, price 24 mm. Bag print 200 x 250 mm, script 50 mm, 15 mm margins.

Pre-production check

A 105 x 75 mm price card at 18 mm fills the loaded stroke and the item reads as a bar in low winter light. Raise the item to 24 mm, and check one card under the market lamp.
