Letterform structure
of Quiet Story.
QUIET fills the card in heavy serif capitals, and the letters carry a printed texture: the edges are broken by small chips, the stems are thick and the serifs are wide, so the word reads as printed on a worn poster rather than a clean page. Story follows beneath in a looping script with wide bowls and a light join, and the pairing works because the script is much lighter than the capitals without being fine. A third setting of the same script, smaller again, carries the credit at the foot, which shows how the face behaves at caption size. The ground is a photograph of a rock on a beach in muted colour, and the cream ink sits over it with a texture of its own. The duo is an editorial and packaging combination: the serif carries a title, the script carries a line, and both share one ink.

Sign for a quiet ceremony
A weathered serif over a looping script reads as a printed card enlarged, and one ink keeps a plain board affordable for a small ceremony.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 500 by 350 mm board: set the main word at 110 pt in the serif, set the line at 44 pt in the script, keep 24 mm of clear ground beneath, and hold 22 mm of border.
Pre-production check
The printed texture can look like damage at board size; print one at the final size and judge the wear before the set.
Cover for a long-form feature
A textured serif with a script beneath gives a feature cover a printed rather than a digital feel, and the pair covers the title and the standfirst in one purchase.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 230 by 300 mm cover: set the title at 90 pt in the serif, set the standfirst at 40 pt in the script with 26 mm of clear ground, and hold 20 mm of margin on all sides.
Pre-production check
Thin script joins disappear on newsprint; print one cover on the actual stock and check the loop before the run.
Label for a small whisky bar
A weathered serif says the bar has a history, and the script supplies the warmth that a plain serif alone would not on a small label.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 90 mm label: set the name at 16 pt in the serif, set the line at 8 pt in the script with 6 mm of clear ground, and hold 4 mm of margin on all sides.
Pre-production check
Two weights on one small label can crowd; print one at the real size and check the ratio before the order.
