Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Graduation.
Graduation is a tall whimsical disconnected handwritten display in capitals, with slender stems and inward spiral curls that tip each letter, and full multilingual character support. Because the letters do not join, a word can break across lines without losing a connection, and because the stems are narrow, a long name fits a tall narrow format. The curls sit at the letter tops, so the layout needs headroom rather than width. It needs roughly 18 mm before the spirals read clearly, and it is a title face for scrapbooks, cards and certificate headers.

Scrapbook title page, graduation card and teacher thank-you
Inward curls read as hand-drawn lettering rather than a printed display face, which is what a scrapbook page needs. Disconnected letters let a two-word title be arranged around photographs without breaking a connection.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Scrapbook page 300 x 300 mm, title 45 mm with 15 mm headroom for the curls, 20 mm margins. Card 148 x 105 mm, name 16 mm. Thank-you tag 60 x 90 mm, word 10 mm, hole 5 mm clear.
Pre-production check
Curls sit above the cap line and are the first thing to be trimmed when a scrapbook title is cut from card. Print guide marks at the cap line on the reverse, and leave 15 mm above every letter before cutting.
Poetry chapbook header, international certificate and gift tag
Multilingual support lets one design carry a title in another script without a second face, which matters for an international award. Narrow stems hold a long name in a single column.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Chapbook 140 x 216 mm, title 28 pt, 18 mm margins with 15 mm headroom for diacritics above the cap line. Certificate A4 landscape, name 24 mm on a 12 mm baseline, body 10/15 pt, 20 mm margins. Tag 50 x 90 mm, word 9 mm, 5 mm hole clearance.
Pre-production check
Diacritics and non-Latin marks sit above the cap line, so a title in a supported script needs more headroom than a Latin specimen suggests. Test the actual title text, not a sample word, and raise the leading if the marks collide.
Teacher card, class-badge label and staffroom print
Whimsical curls soften a thank-you without turning it childish, and disconnected letters allow a class name to be set in a smaller size beneath. Narrow stems fit a badge at 10 mm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card 148 x 105 mm, greeting 16 mm, 8 mm headroom, message 7/10 pt, 12 mm margins. Badge 80 x 110 mm, name 10 mm, clip slot 10 mm. Print A4, greeting 50 mm, 25 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Laminated badges show bubbles if the print is heavy and the laminate is cheap, and small curls read as dirt. Use a matt anti-bubble laminate, and check one badge after a week of daily wear.

Weekly Planner is a tall rounded sans in grey on pink: narrow upright letters with rounded terminals, an open R leg, a bowed W and a curled L, presented in two stacked lines with a tracked caption beneath, so the pair reads as a planner cover rather than a neutral sans.
