High-contrast serif with ornamental spirals
Sundan
Sundan is a beautiful serif in cream over a warm photograph: high contrast, wide letters, and ornamental spirals that leave the S and the d, one rising above the word and one curling below it, with a small badge at the foot.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Sundan.
The word runs on one line and the face is a serif with ornament built into the letters: the stems are heavy, the joins hairlines, the serifs fine flats, and from the S a spiral rises above the word and returns to the baseline, while from the d a second spiral drops below and curls back up. Those spirals are drawn at hairline weight, so they act as a frame rather than as letters, and they are balanced so the block stays centred. The letters are wide and spaced evenly, which gives the word a calm, printed air, and the contrast is high enough to read as a rhythm at display size. A caption beneath names the face and the studio, a small oval badge carries a marker, and the ground is a warm, softly lit photograph. Sundan is a serif for editorial titles, packaging, invitations and branding, and it needs a wide measure, a large size and space above and below for the spirals.

Title on a fashion spread
A serif with built-in spirals gives a spread its ornament, and the wide letterforms fill a page without a second element.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 240 by 300 mm opener: set the title at 70 pt on one line, keep 30 mm of clear ground beneath before the standfirst at 11 pt, and hold 20 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
The spirals need headroom and footroom; set the block on the page and check both margins before printing.
Label for a small perfume
A warm serif gives a bottle a hand-finished look, and the spirals can be dropped so the label stays quiet on a small die.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 75 mm bottle label: set the name at 12 pt on one line, keep 5 mm of clear ground beneath before the volume at 3.5 pt, and hold 3.5 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Hairline spirals can break on a small label; print one on the real stock and check the thinnest lines.
Names on a warm invitation
A serif with a spiral flourish gives a wedding card its gesture without a script, and the wide fit suits two long names on one line.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 148 by 210 mm card: set the names at 28 pt on one line, keep 24 mm of clear ground beneath before the details at 8 pt, and hold 16 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
A hairline spiral over textured card can break; print one card on the intended stock and check.
