Rounded retro serif with loops
Lemon and Orange
Lemon and Orange is a heavy rounded serif in cream on orange: fat stems with curled terminals, a looping O whose stroke escapes the bowl, a drawn ampersand and a swash that runs under the second word, with a small illustration of fruit above and two tracked lines beneath.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Lemon and Orange.
The two words are stacked with an ampersand and the drawing is a rounded retro serif: the terminals curl, the O loops out of its bowl, and a swash connects the second line to the first, so the phrase reads as one drawn object. That construction is a display decision, and the plate sets it large enough that the loops read as shapes. The drawn fruit above and the two tracked lines beneath are product styling — one names the designer, the other the style — and the orange ground keeps the cream readable at a glance. Because the bowls are heavy, the face works at display sizes and on packaging, and the plate shows how a two-word title with a connective behaves at full width, which is the test a buyer actually needs.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Lemon and Orange’s stroke geometry.
Label for a juice brand
A rounded retro serif reads as a fruit label, and the thick stems hold on a small pack where a thin script would fill with fibre.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 65 by 90 mm label: the brand at 16 pt, the flavour at 8 pt, and the volume at 6 pt. Keep 5 mm inside the die and print two colours on a white stock.
Pre-production check
Check the 16 pt brand on a curved bottle, where the loops can overcrowd; keep the entry above 3 mm. Confirm the 6 pt volume reads on the shelf and that the label holds in a cooler.
Sign for a juice bar
A retro serif reads as a neighbourhood counter, and the heavy strokes hold on a board that shoppers read from across a market aisle.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 900 by 400 mm board: the bar at 100 mm cap height, the menu at 26 mm, and the prices at 22 mm. Keep 25 mm margins and paint two colours on a light board.
Pre-production check
Check the board at four metres, where the swash can merge with the menu line; keep 20 mm clear. Confirm the 22 mm prices read at two metres and that the paint holds outdoors.
Card for a summer party
A rounded retro face sets a party in a warm voice, and the loops give the greeting a single gesture without extra decoration.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the greeting at 26 pt, the details at 9 pt, and the date at 8 pt. Keep 14 mm margins, print two colours on a cream card and check the swash against the trim.
Pre-production check
Check the 26 pt greeting at home-print resolution, where a curl can fill; keep the loop above 0.8 mm. Confirm the 9 pt details keep a 4.5:1 contrast and that the card folds flat.

Bright Embers
Bright Embers is a substantial serif in which the bowls stay broad, the stems hold firm, selected upper bars wave and the t and final s turn into low outward curves, so a two-row heading reads as warm editorial lettering.
