Flourished Christmas script with large open capitals and returning lower swashes
Christmas Wish
Christmas Wish is a festive script in which the capitals open wide, the lower swashes return under the word and the ascenders stay tall, so a two-word greeting reads as an engraved seasonal plate.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Christmas Wish.
The capital C opens as a broad crescent with a loop at each end, the h keeps a tall stem, the r holds a short arm and the s reverses through two curves, while the second word's capital W repeats the open gesture and its final swash returns under the line. That returning swash is the character: it closes the composition from beneath, which is what lets two words hold a wide plate without a rule. Weight is medium with a moderate contrast, so the face survives at 26 pt on uncoated card. The bokeh photograph, the white ink, the tree and bauble are presentation; the script is the two words.

Card front for a family greeting
The returning swash closes the card from below, and the moderate contrast keeps both words readable at 28 pt on a textured seasonal stock.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 148 by 105 mm card: set the greeting at 28 pt in two lines with 13 mm leading, set the family name in a 7 pt caps serif at the foot, and keep 17 mm of margin so the returning swash finishes inside the trim.
Pre-production check
A returning swash printed close to the foot collides with the name; check the proof and lift the second line rather than shortening the swash.
Label for a seasonal gift box
The flourished script reads on a box label at 13 pt, and the open capitals give a plain kraft box a finished seasonal look.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 70 by 45 mm kraft label: set the greeting at 13 pt, set the recipient in a 5 pt caps sans beneath, and keep 5 mm of margin so the lower swash is not cut by the label corner.
Pre-production check
A swash printed on kraft fills in at the turn; check one label on the actual stock and simplify the smallest loop.
Sign for a seasonal market stall
The open capitals read at 11 cm across an aisle, and the returning swash gives a stall sign a decorated finish at a distance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 700 by 400 mm board: set the greeting at 11 cm across the upper half, set the prices in a 4 cm serif below, and leave 8 cm of border so the swash stays clear of the frame edge.
Pre-production check
A hand-painted swash at 11 cm needs a steady line; check one letter under the market's lighting before painting the rest.
