Ornate serif capitals with a whiskered script
Locked Whisper
Locked Whisper is a duo on speckled cream: ornate display capitals with thin strokes, curled serifs and long whiskers, and a fine script beneath whose letters carry the same curls at a smaller scale.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Locked Whisper.
The pair works because both halves share a drawn quality: LOCKED and WHISPER are set in capitals with hairline stems, flared serifs and whiskers that trail from the R and the K, so a plain word looks like a Victorian engraved plate, while the script beneath is a light connected hand with the same curly terminals used at caption size. A third line in a small script explains the pair, which shows how the two cuts behave at their intended sizes rather than only at display. The ground is a flecked cream paper with a small circular monogram at the foot. Locked Whisper is a duo for editorial, wedding stationery and packaging with a period feel, and it needs a large size for the whiskers and a generous measure for the script.

Cover title for a period novel
An ornate capital over a fine script gives a cover a hierarchy that suits a period novel, and the whiskers supply the ornament without an illustration.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 198 mm cover: set the title at 48 pt in the capitals, set the author line at 12 pt in the script with 18 mm of clear ground, and hold 14 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Hairline whiskers break on uncoated cover stock; print one cover on the real paper and check the thinnest stroke before the run.
Front of a formal invitation
A display serif gives an invitation the look of an engraved card, and the fine script carries the details without adding a third face.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 180 mm invitation: set the family name at 30 pt in the capitals, set the names at 22 pt in the script with 16 mm of clear ground, and hold 18 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Whiskered capitals need air; print one invitation at the finished size and check the margins before the suite.
Label for a small distillery
The pair suits a bottle with a heritage story, and the capitals carry the product while the script carries the age on one narrow label.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 55 by 90 mm label: set the product at 14 pt in the capitals, set the age at 8 pt in the script with 5 mm of clear ground, and hold 4 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
A whisker can run past a narrow die; print one on the real stock and check both ends before the order.
