Tall contrasting serif with loops
Savage Roses is a tall contrasting serif in white on a warm tan ground: heavy stems with hairlines, wide serifs, and loops that leave the capitals and extend across the words in long horizontal sweeps, with a small tracked line above in a curved rule and a caption beneath.

Visual anatomy & craft review
The two words are stacked and the drawing is a modern serif at high contrast, with the loops extending from the S and the R across the whole line, so the block reads as one drawn object rather than as two lines of type. The tan ground gives the white something to sit on, and the photograph of a dried rose behind the second line is a soft texture rather than a subject. The small tracked line above sits inside a curved rule, which is period detail, and the caption beneath names the product. Because the loops need room, the face works at display sizes with generous margins, and the specimen allows them by keeping the words short and the sheet wide. The palette is warm and limited, which keeps the hairlines visible.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Savage Roses’s stroke geometry.
A looped serif gives a botanical brand a drawn signature, and the heavy stems hold on a shop window where a thin script would break up.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the mark at 19 pt on a card, 90 mm on a window panel and 12 pt on a tag, keeping the loops only above 20 pt. Keep one colour and reserve clear space equal to the loop height.
Pre-production check
Check the 12 pt tag, where a loop can close the line above; drop it at that size. Confirm the window mark reads at six metres and that the loops stay inside the panel edge.
A looped serif gives a floral wedding a drawn flourish, and the heavy stems keep the names legible at a small size on a card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A5 invitation: the names at 26 pt, the request in a 9.5 pt serif, and the date at 8.5 pt caps. Keep 26 mm margins so the loops have room and foil one colour on a cream card.
Pre-production check
Check the 26 pt names in foil, where a loop can break; keep it above 0.3 mm. Confirm the 9.5 pt request reads at arm's length and that the loops clear the trim by 12 mm.
A contrasting serif gives a style cover movement, and the loops let a two-word title fill the width without extra ornament.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 90 mm cap height across 200 mm, the subtitle in an 11 pt serif, and the issue at 8 pt. Print one ink on a coated stock and keep the loops clear of the subtitle.
Pre-production check
Check the title at 90 mm, where the loops can collide with the subtitle; keep 12 mm between them. Confirm the 8 pt issue survives lamination and that the title holds at thumbnail size.
Technical & licence verification
Confirm included OTF/TTF/WOFF formats, full glyph tables and licence coverage on the live store page before batch production.
