Heavy contrasting mixed case with sharply angled upper ends
Draveth
Draveth is a heavy mixed-case serif in which the stems run thick, the contrast is high and the upper ends of the letters are cut at a sharp angle, so a word reads as a contemporary magazine masthead.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Draveth.
The D keeps a heavy bowl against a straight stem, the r carries a sharply angled shoulder, the a closes a small counter and the v opens two thick strokes to a point, all with hairlines at the joins and a stress that runs steeply. The angled upper ends are the character: terminals are cut on a diagonal rather than flat, which is what gives the face its edge at 60 pt and what makes it read as designed rather than default. Because the hairlines are genuine, the face wants 22 pt minimum and a coated stock at display sizes. The pale ground, the black ink, the shadow of foliage and the small caption are presentation; the serif is the word shown.

Masthead for a design magazine
The angled terminals give a masthead an edge at 80 pt, and the high contrast holds on a coated cover where a duller serif would look generic.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the masthead at 80 pt across the top, set the issue line in a 9 pt caps sans beneath, and keep 18 mm of margin so the angled ends stay inside the trim.
Pre-production check
Hairline joins under 0.12 mm drop out in offset; ask the printer for the minimum line and thicken the hairlines rather than the stems.
Mark for a fashion label
The heavy contrast reads at 15 pt on a coated carton, and the angled ends give a small mark the composure of an editorial masthead.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 75 mm coated carton: set the label name at 15 pt, set the season in a 5 pt caps sans at the foot, and keep 5 mm of margin so the angled terminals are not cut by the panel edge.
Pre-production check
A carton board absorbs hairlines and thickens them; check a printed dummy and reduce the contrast by one weight if it fills.
Opening title for a report
The mixed-case weight gives a report an opening title with authority at 54 pt, and the sharp ends keep it from looking like a template heading.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 report cover: set the title at 54 pt across the upper third, set the year in a 8 pt caps serif at the foot, and keep 22 mm of margin so the wide bowls stay clear of the paper edge.
Pre-production check
A single heavy title can unbalance a plain cover; check the cover at final size and pair it with a quiet line rather than a second heavy heading.

Rustic Royale
Rustic Royale is a modern serif in black on off-white: high contrast with fine hairlines, an R whose leg curls into a ball terminal, a t with a curved top, and an e that finishes in a long tail, so the word reads as a contemporary serif with hand-drawn irregularities.
