Tall solid capitals crossed by a thick slanted connected script
Garlic Shine
Garlic Shine pairs a heavy pink sans with a black connected script, and the sample stacks the two so the script runs across the sans like a signature written on a painted sign.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Garlic Shine.
SHINE is set in a broad confident sans with flat terminals and even weight, pink on cream, while Garlic follows in a thick script whose joins stay open and whose ascenders curl back over the line. The two are separated by colour and by weight, not by style, so the pair reads as one voice with two pitches. Gold stars and a garlic bulb sit in the corners and a tracked caption closes the cover. The script's thick joins mean the smaller line has to keep its own space; put the two faces on the same baseline at similar sizes and the overlap disappears into a smear.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Garlic Shine’s stroke geometry.
Pack for a small food producer
The sans carries the product name and the script carries the flavour, which is the usual job split for a two-face label, and both hold on a narrow jar.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 90 mm jar label: set the product name at 22 pt and the flavour line at 16 pt beneath, keep 9 mm of clear ground under the script before the weight at 6 pt, and keep 7 mm to the die edge.
Pre-production check
The script overhangs its line; check the layout at final size before the label sheet is cut.
Heading for a relaxed reception sign
The heavy sans stays friendly without turning formal, so a modern reception sign can use it while the script handles the couple's names.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 500 by 700 mm board: set the welcome word at 90 pt in the sans and the names at 70 pt in the script below, keep 26 mm of clear ground before the date at 20 pt, and keep 30 mm of border.
Pre-production check
Thick script joins blur in large format vinyl; check a cut sample before the board is made.
Cover lines for a food magazine
The pairing lets a magazine put a loud headline and a handwritten kicker on one cover, and the pink drop-out colour separates them at a glance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 280 mm cover: set the headline at 76 pt in the sans, the kicker at 40 pt in the script with 18 mm of clear ground between them, and keep 20 mm of margin from the trim.
Pre-production check
The script needs a light ground behind it; check the proof over your own cover photograph.
