Penthouse
Penthouse is a modern bouncy calligraphy script: tall loops, thick downstrokes and a baseline that rises and falls, with a swash tail and a heart drawn between the words.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Penthouse.
Penthouse spans the card in black on a pale flat-lay with a gold watch, a dotted notebook, a fern and a pink flower at the edges. The script has a pronounced bounce — every letter sits at a slightly different height — and the ascenders loop well above the x-height while the descenders swing below, one of them ending in a long flourish. A pink line beneath reads with a heart drawn between the words, and a letter-spaced small caps line closes the composition. The face is the modern brush-calligraphy style that pairs with lifestyle photography, and its practical constraint is line length: because each letter bounces, a long phrase starts to look like a wave, so it is best used for two or three words at a generous size.

Names line for a wedding stationery suite
The bounce gives a couple's names a hand-written rhythm rather than a printed one, and the swash tail can be used to balance a wide card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 130 by 180 mm invitation: set the names at 30 pt on one row, keep 20 mm of clear ground beneath before the venue at 9 pt, and hold 15 mm from the swash to the card edge.
Pre-production check
The bounce fights a centred rule below; print one invitation at the finished size and check the baseline before the suite.
Label for a small perfume house
The script reads as a hand-written signature, which suits a brand that sells itself on being made in small quantities and wants the label to look filled in by hand.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 80 mm bottle label: set the house name at 15 pt on one row, keep 6 mm of clear ground beneath before the volume at 4.5 pt, and hold 4 mm from the lowest loop to the die line.
Pre-production check
Thin joins fill on a small label; print one at the real size and check the h before the order.
Pull quote treatment for a lifestyle feature
One line in this script separates a quote from the surrounding serif without a box, and the bounce makes a short sentence feel spoken.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 230 by 300 mm spread: set the pull quote at 40 pt across two rows, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath before the body text at 10.5 pt, and hold 20 mm of margin at the outer edge.
Pre-production check
Two bouncing rows can read as decoration; print one spread and check the quote reads as words before the issue.

Writing
Writing is a looped handwriting in black over a pale photograph of a hand with a pen: tall loops on the ascenders, small open bowls and a light even stroke, with a deep descender on the g.

Loose script with a looped capital and low tails across the baseline
Easy Handwriting
Easy Handwriting is a loose script in which the capital loops high, the body stays low and the tails run flat along the baseline, so a phrase reads as something written quickly on a card rather than as calligraphy.

Slanted retro car-sign script
The Original Script
The Original Script is a slanted retro script in cream on near-black: fat even strokes, a strong forward lean, wide open loops on the O and the g, and a long thin underline that runs beneath the whole word.
