Heavy display and fine tailed script
Dream Wish
Dream Wish contrasts chunky uneven capitals in a flat pink with a fine black looping script line beneath, where the script w begins in a long entry tail and the h finishes in a high sweeping exit that lifts above the cap height of the lower word.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Dream Wish.
The caps stay blocky and slightly uneven, the script stays thin and continuous, the entry and exit tails run long and the two rows overlap lightly. That overlap is the character: the script sits close enough to touch the caps, which is why the sample keeps both rows centred with nothing else competing. A rainbow arc above is cover artwork. Keep 46 pt for the caps and 20 pt for the script, leave 16 mm of clear ground between the rows and check the exit tail against your right margin.

Card for a first birthday
The chunky caps and the fine script give a small celebration two registers, so a short greeting reads warm rather than designed by committee.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 100 by 150 mm card: set the greeting in the caps at 38 pt, run the wish in the script at 22 pt beneath with 12 mm of clear ground between the rows, and keep 14 mm of margin at each side.
Pre-production check
The script exit tail runs wide; check the artwork and pull the row 8 mm left of centre before the die is cut.
Label for a cake studio
The pairing works at small sizes because the caps carry the weight and the script adds a hand note without needing a third font.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 60 mm label: set the studio name in the caps at 20 pt, place the script line at 12 pt beneath with 6 mm of clear ground, and keep 5 mm to the die edge for the exit tail.
Pre-production check
The script hairline vanishes on kraft; check the plate proof and choose a coated label for the print run.
Tag for a flower bunch
The soft caps suit a bouquet tag and the sweeping script gives the message a handwritten feel, which is what a gift tag is for.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 100 mm tag: set the greeting in the caps at 22 pt, run the script at 13 pt beneath with 8 mm of clear ground, and keep 9 mm to the punch hole so the tail stays clear.
Pre-production check
The w entry tail needs room at the left; check the tag layout, keep 10 mm of clear space and cut the die after that.
