High-contrast display serif with sculpted curves and tucked swash legs
Orvelia
Orvelia is a high-contrast display serif in which the stems alternate thick and hairline weights, the R, V and A end in curved swash legs and the bowls stay sculpted, so a name reads as a crest for a perfume box or a masthead.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Orvelia.
The R tucks its leg into a curve, the V splits into two swashed strokes, the A carries a curling leg and the bowls close against fine joins that thin to a hairline at every junction. The swash leg is the character: three capitals carry the ornament while the rest of the alphabet stays quiet, which is why the sample frames one word for formal stationery. Because the hairlines are fine, the face wants coated stock from 16 pt and gains from hot foil on signage; the display cut ships with swashes as separate glyphs. The pale ground and the small frame rules are presentation; the dark display word is the face.

Crest heading for a wedding suite
The swash legs give a crest its flourish, and the sculpted capitals hold a short surname at 30 pt on heavy card stock in one ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 180 mm card: set the surname at 30 pt at the head, keep 14 mm below the curling leg before the names line, and set the date at 9 pt in a caps at the foot.
Pre-production check
A swash leg printed into the names line tangles with the first capital; check the proof and keep 12 mm of clear ground.
Box lid for a perfume house
The luxury weight suits a small lid, and the swash capitals stay clear at 24 pt on a 60 mm panel stamped in hot foil on dark board.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 60 mm lid: set the house name at 24 pt, keep the foil plate 8 mm outside the last swash, and keep the thinnest hairline at 0.4 mm on the plate.
Pre-production check
A hairline below 0.3 mm breaks on a foil plate; check the die proof and thicken the join rather than the letter.
Masthead for a bridal title
The sculpted forms carry a masthead, and the high contrast holds a long title at 76 pt across a printed cover with a plain band.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the masthead at 76 pt across the upper quarter, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath, and set the issue line in a 9 pt caps in the lower corner.
Pre-production check
Hairlines on a masthead vanish on newsprint; check the stock and print the cover coated or move to a heavier cut.
