Letterform structure
of Ricket.
Ricket fills the upper half of the card in brick red, set in a wide slanted script whose bowls are almost circular, whose t and k carry tall narrow ascenders, and whose entry strokes finish in round balls. Beneath it Hand-drawn Font Duo is set in the matching sans: bold, slightly irregular, with uneven stroke ends and a warm hand-drawn feel that keeps it from looking like a system grotesque. The ground is a sage-green vertical stripe, and the card is finished with small vertical captions on both edges, a centred paragraph in caps and a studio credit at the foot. The construction is a matched pair for packaging and small brands: the script takes the name, the sans takes everything that must be read, and the two only work together when the sans is set at roughly half the script's size.

Sign for a relaxed wedding reception
The pair gives a wedding sign a hand-made tone and a readable line beneath, so guests get both a mood and the information.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 500 by 300 mm board: set the couple's names at 90 pt on one row, set the detail line at 26 pt in the sans beneath with 24 mm of clear ground between, and hold 22 mm of border.
Pre-production check
Sage green on a printed board shifts toward grey outdoors; print one board and check the red holds its warmth before the set.
Cover treatment for a studio zine
A retro duo gives a small publication a cover system in two voices, and the sans carries the issue details without a second family.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 297 mm cover: set the title at 80 pt across one row, set the issue line at 20 pt in the sans beneath with 18 mm of clear ground, and hold 16 mm of margin on all sides.
Pre-production check
The script's slant fights a vertical grid; print one cover at the final size and check the title sits level before the run.
Label for a small bakery
The pair supplies a name and an ingredients line in one purchase, and the hand-drawn sans keeps a small label from looking corporate.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 45 mm label: set the bakery name at 16 pt in the script, set the product at 7 pt in the sans beneath with 5 mm of clear ground, and hold 4 mm from the outer stroke to the die line.
Pre-production check
At label size the ball terminals close up; print one label at the real size and check the t and k before the order.
