Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Harvellia.
The stems stay slender on a steady slant, the joins taper to hairlines, the bowls stay round and the capital opens with a small spiral instead of a flat serif. The spiral entry is the character: the word begins with a curl and then leans away, which is why the sample sets one name over a portrait. Because the slant and the spiral both need room, keep 18 mm at the left and 16 mm between rows from 26 pt. The captions advertise italic, alternates and language support, but the cover demonstrates only this slanted specimen.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Harvellia’s stroke geometry.
Cover line for a fashion issue
The slanted row gives a cover motion, and the fine contrast holds a two-word title at 60 pt on a coated page. The lean also keeps a long title from reading as a static band.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the title at 60 pt, keep 20 mm of clear ground at the left for the spiral, and set the cover lines at 9 pt in a small caps along the foot of the page. Keep the foot band plain.
Pre-production check
A spiral entry printed under 2 mm closes into a dot; check the film and keep the title at 46 pt or above. Ask for a wet proof of the cover.
Wordmark for a boutique
The lean gives a small mark movement, and the fine serifs stay readable at 22 pt on a coated card in one ink. The spiral also gives a small mark its entry point.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an 85 by 55 mm card: set the wordmark at 22 pt, keep 12 mm of clear ground at the left for the spiral, and set the address in a 7 pt caps at the foot with 8 mm of space.
Pre-production check
Hairlines printed on an uncoated card spread at 18 pt; check the proof and keep the wordmark at 20 pt or above.
Heading for a modern wedding
The steady slant keeps a contemporary suite lively, and the fine bowls hold two names at 24 pt on heavy card stock. The slant also keeps a formal row feeling current.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 180 mm card: set the names at 24 pt, keep 16 mm of clear ground above the slant, and set the venue at 9 pt in a light serif with 12 mm of clear space below. Keep the venue line short.
Pre-production check
The advertised italic and alternates are not shown on the cover; set your chosen forms at final size before committing.
