Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Family Christmas.
Family Christmas is a tall narrow bouncy holiday calligraphy script: a loaded brush stroke on a nearly vertical axis, high ascenders that loop once, joined letters and a bounce that lifts the middle of a word. The narrow width fits a long greeting in a tag, and the bounce grows the word vertically. It needs roughly 24 mm for the loop and the brush edge to read, and it is best in one deep ink on smooth card, or a fine gold on a dark ground where the loops print as bright lines.

Holiday card, gift tag and jar label
A tall bouncy script fits a full greeting on a narrow tag and reads as written rather than printed. The loops hold at 22 mm, and one deep ink prints the card, the tags and the labels in one pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card 105 x 148 mm, greeting 26 mm with 12 mm loop clearance, message 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Tag 50 x 90 mm, word 20 mm with a 5 mm hole and 10 mm clear. Jar label 70 x 45 mm, word 12 mm, 4 mm die margin.
Pre-production check
A 70 x 45 mm jar label at 12 mm closes the loop into a blob on wet-strength paper. Raise the label to 16 mm, and check one labelled jar before the batch.
Winter-market sign, price card and bag print
A narrow bouncy script fits a long stall name on a board and reads as hand-painted. The loops hold 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 12 mm loop 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.
Thank-you card, market tag and wrap band
A bouncy script reads as a written note rather than a printed acknowledgement. The loops hold at 22 mm, and one ink prints the card, the tag and the band in one pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card A6, greeting 22 mm with 10 mm loop clearance, note 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Market tag 50 x 90 mm, script 20 mm, 5 mm hole with 10 mm clear. Wrap band 200 x 40 mm, script 14 mm, 6 mm margins.
Pre-production check
On a 200 x 40 mm band the loop crosses the fold and splits when wrapped. Keep the word 8 mm clear of the crease, and wrap one band before the order.
