Ligature display serif
Nomark
Nomark is a stylish ligature serif in rust red on a pale ground: high contrast, fine stems and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes that connect adjacent letters into single drawn shapes, set as one word with a tracked line beneath naming the typeface and the studio.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Nomark.
The word is set once and the drawing depends on its joins: the first letter carries a long curved entry stroke, the middle letters connect at the baseline, and the last letter ends in a sweeping tail, so the word reads as a single drawn mark rather than as six separate letters. That is the honest demonstration for a ligature face, because the joins are the product and they need to be judged in place. The contrast is high and the hairlines are fine, which means the face works at display sizes and on a smooth ground, and the plate keeps the page pale so the strokes read. The tracked line beneath is set in a light face with wide spacing, which keeps the plate calm.

Wordmark for a fashion label
A ligature serif turns a short name into a single drawn mark, which is exactly what a fashion label wants for a bag, a box and a label.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the mark at 22 pt on a box, 90 mm on a bag and 12 pt on a card, with the joins engaged above 18 pt. Keep one colour and reserve clear space equal to the x-height.
Pre-production check
Check the 12 pt card mark, where a join can close a counter; drop the ligature at that size. Confirm the bag mark reads at three metres and that the hairline tail survives the print.
Cover for a fashion issue
A ligature serif gives a masthead movement, and the long join strokes let a short title fill a cover width without extra spacing.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the masthead at 110 mm cap height across 210 mm, the cover lines in an 8 pt serif, and the issue at 7 pt. Print one ink on a mid-tone ground and keep the masthead in the upper third.
Pre-production check
Check the masthead at 110 mm, where the joins can break on press; keep them above 0.3 mm. Confirm the cover lines read at newsstand distance and that the masthead holds at thumbnail size.
Invitation for a modern wedding
A ligature serif gives a couple's names a single drawn gesture, which suits a contemporary invitation better than a script.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A5 invitation: the names at 26 pt with the joins engaged, the request in a 10 pt serif, and the date at 9 pt caps. Keep 24 mm margins so the tails have room, and letterpress one ink on a heavy card.
Pre-production check
Check the 26 pt names, where a tail can reach the trim; pull the block inward by 5 mm. Confirm the 10 pt request reads at arm's length and that the joins stay open on the press.
