Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Malograh.
The name is set as one long line over a photograph of a handwritten manuscript, and the face is a handwriting script rather than a formal calligraphy: the M opens with a wide swash that starts below the baseline, the a and the l are narrow, the o and the g are round, the r carries a short arm and the h finishes with a rising exit that curls back over the word. The stroke is medium with a slight swell on the downstrokes, the slant is consistent and the letters connect throughout, so the word reads as written quickly with a fountain pen. A quill lies across the upper left corner and a small tracked line at the right names the style and notes full language support. Malograh is a script for labels, stationery and packaging that want a manuscript feel, and it needs a moderate size and a warm ground.

Names line for a stationery suite
A manuscript script reads as written rather than typeset, which suits a suite that is printed to look hand addressed, and the wide capital fills a card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 180 mm invitation: set the names at 26 pt on one line, keep 20 mm of clear ground beneath before the venue at 9 pt, and hold 18 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
The entry swash can run into the margin trim; print one invitation at the finished size and check both ends before the suite.
Label for a small chocolate maker
A red manuscript script on a warm label reads as a house with history, and the fine stroke keeps the label quiet next to a dark product.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 90 mm label: set the brand at 17 pt on one line, keep 6 mm of clear ground beneath before the cocoa note at 5 pt, and hold 4 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Fine joins fill in on a foil label; print one on the real material and check the thinnest stroke before the order.
Menu for a vintage dinner
The face suits a printed menu that has to match an aged aesthetic, and the medium stroke keeps a heading readable at a table distance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 210 mm menu: set the heading at 30 pt on one line, set the courses at 10 pt in a plain serif beneath, and hold 16 mm of margin on all four sides of the card.
Pre-production check
A warm script on a cream menu can look faded; print one menu and check the contrast before the run.
