of Happy New Year Duo.
Happy New Year Duo is a duo of a tall skinny marker sans and a firework-swashed monoline script: the sans is narrow with blunt ends for timings and lists, while the script runs an even stroke with joined letters and swashes that burst into firework strokes at the first and last letters. The bursts need side clearance and are the first thing trimmed, and the monoline is the weaker element in print. The script needs roughly 24 mm and the sans 18 mm for their detail to read.

New Year invitation, menu and table card
A firework-swashed script with a tall marker sans gives a countdown invitation two voices from one family. The script carries the greeting at 26 pt, and the sans sets the timings at 9 pt in the same ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invitation 130 x 180 mm, script 26 pt with 14 mm burst clearance, sans 9/13 pt, 16 mm margins. Menu 120 x 210 mm, header 20 pt, courses 9/12 pt. Table card 90 x 50 mm, name 12 pt, 4 mm margins.
Pre-production check
At 12 pt on a table card the script's bursts merge into a solid comma and the name reads as a typo. Raise table cards to 18 pt, and proof one card before the set.
New-Year birthday invite, cake topper and banner
A firework script separates a New Year's Eve birthday from the generic seasonal card. The bursts hold at 44 mm on a topper, and the marker sans sets the details at 8 pt in the same pass.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Invite A6, script 40 pt with 12 mm burst clearance, sans 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins. Topper 130 x 110 mm, script 48 mm with a 6 mm stick slot and 12 mm clear. Banner 1500 x 400 mm, script 150 mm, 30 mm safe edge.
Pre-production check
A 130 mm topper cut through a firework stroke leaves a 1 mm sliver that snaps. Cut toppers with a 2 mm bridge, and test one before the party.
Party-planner identity, card and wrap band
A monoline script with firework swashes reads as a hand-signed mark rather than a corporate logo. The script holds at 24 mm on a card, and the marker sans sets the services at 8 pt in the same order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Card 85 x 55 mm, script 24 mm with 12 mm burst clearance, sans 7/9 pt, 8 mm margins. Wrap band 200 x 40 mm, script 16 mm, 6 mm margins. Box stamp 100 x 60 mm, script 26 mm, 6 mm margins.
Pre-production check
On a 200 x 40 mm band the burst doubles at the fold and reads as a knot. Keep the band to one word in the plain cut, and wrap one band before the order.
