Original specimen by Yarman (7NTypes)

Tall double-line capitals interrupted by small open hearts near the lower stems

Ideal Lover

Ideal Lover is a decorative line face in which each tall capital is drawn as an inline outline and a small heart sits inside the base of the stroke, so a word marches along a row of little hearts.

Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Ideal Lover.

IDEAL over LOVER fills the card in a magenta line drawing on white, the letters narrow and tall with a double contour, and every letter carries a heart at its foot: the I holds one under the serif, the D has one inside the bowl, the E has one at each stem, and the R finishes the row with a heart in its leg. The hearts are drawn at the same stroke weight as the letters, which is what makes the set read as a single drawing rather than as type with icons attached. A spaced caption above introduces the face and one below names it, both in the same magenta at a small size. Because everything is a line, the face can be printed in one colour on any stock, and it can be cut as a stencil, which is the practical use: vinyl, paper, cake stencils. It needs height, since the hearts sit at the baseline where a short setting would close them up.

Project & layout
blueprints.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Ideal Lover’s stroke geometry.

Valentine

Front of an anniversary card

One word in this face supplies the occasion, the decoration and the symbol at once, so the card needs nothing else on the front but a short line underneath.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 105 by 148 mm card: set the word at 56 pt on one row, keep 16 mm of clear ground beneath before the message at 9 pt, and hold 13 mm from the last heart to the card edge.

Pre-production check

The inline outline fills in below 20 pt; print one card at the finished size and check the hearts before the batch.

Wedding

Sign for a sweet table

The hearts repeat along the line without a second ornament, and the thin outline prints cleanly on the card a venue uses for small signs.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 200 by 150 mm sign: set the greeting at 54 pt on one row, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath before the names at 12 pt, and hold 16 mm of margin so the lowest heart is not cropped.

Pre-production check

Thin outlines buckle on foam board; print one sign on the intended material and check the inline weight before the set.

Brand & packaging

Stencil for a patisserie's boxes

The line construction makes a clean stencil, and the hearts suit a shop that sells small decorated things rather than large plain ones.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 120 by 90 mm box lid: set the shop name at 30 pt on one row, keep 10 mm of clear ground beneath before the contact line at 5 pt, and hold 8 mm from the outline to the lid edge.

Pre-production check

Stencil bridges need width in the outline; cut one test lid and check that the hearts hold before the box order.
