Sweet soft serif with rounded serifs
Spiced Chestnut
Spiced Chestnut is a sweet soft serif in pink on brown: heavy rounded letters with softened slab serifs, generous curves and a comfortable weight, set as two stacked words with a line beneath in the same family.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Spiced Chestnut.
Two words are stacked and the face is a soft serif: the stems are heavy, the serifs are slabs with rounded ends, the bowls are full circles, the shoulders of the S and the C are eased, and the joins carry a gentle contrast rather than a hard one. The result is a serif that reads as warm rather than formal, and the weight keeps a short word filling a page without a display flourish. The letter spacing is open enough that the words look comfortable rather than packed, and a third line beneath, in the same face at a smaller size, names the style and shows how the family behaves in a sentence. Small hearts are drawn in the four corners of the page, and the palette is a soft pink on a warm brown with a faint marble texture. Spiced Chestnut is a serif for packaging, labels, cards and editorial pages with a friendly tone, and it works at both text and display sizes on a warm ground.

Label for a spiced syrup
A soft serif gives a small bottle a warm, homemade feel, and the rounded slabs keep a short name readable at label size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 55 by 85 mm label: set the brand at 16 pt on one line, keep 6 mm of clear ground beneath before the flavour at 5 pt, and hold 4 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
A heavy soft serif on a curved label can look bulky; print one on the real bottle and check the ends.
Sign on the fascia of a bakery
A warm serif reads as a shop that bakes on the premises, and the heavy weight carries on a fascia where a light face would disappear.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 700 by 250 mm fascia: set the name at 120 pt on one line, keep 34 mm of clear ground beneath before the hours at 24 pt, and hold 26 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Warm pink on a brown ground shifts under outdoor light; proof one panel in daylight before the print.
Heading for a recipe feature
A soft serif suits a page about cooking, and the same family can set the headings and the ingredients without a second purchase.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 280 mm page: set the heading at 36 pt on one line, set the ingredients at 10 pt with 14 mm of clear ground between them, and hold 20 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
A heavy heading above small text can overpower the page; compare the two sizes in proof before signing off.

Happy Rounded
Happy Rounded is a tall display serif in which the stems bow gently, the ends flare into soft spurs and the bowls stay wide, so a greeting reads as friendly lettering rather than as a formal title.
