Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of The Moriarty.
The plate is a formal specimen, and the deep green ground gives the gold a jewelled quality that suits the drawing. The letters are narrow with split capitals and delicate hooks, so the word reads as an engraved plate rather than as writing, and the fine internal lines set a moderate size floor because they thin first. The introducing line, the descriptor and the corner ornaments are product copy and staging. It suits an invitation, a label and a cover for a formal or a gothic subject, and the narrow fitting means a long name holds on one line without losing the ornaments.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to The Moriarty’s stroke geometry.
Invitation for a gothic wedding
A narrow blackletter reads as ceremony, and the split capitals give a pair of names ornament without an extra motif. It suits a formal card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A5 invitation: the names at 30 pt, the request in a 9.5 pt serif, and the date at 8.5 pt caps. Keep 26 mm margins and foil stamp on a heavy, smooth card.
Pre-production check
Check the 30 pt names in foil, where a hook can fill; keep it above 0.4 mm. Confirm the request reads at arm's length and that the names clear the trim.
Label for a small distillery
An ornate label reads as a house with age, and the narrow letters fit a long name on a bottle without shrinking. It fits a long house name.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 90 mm label: the house at 12 pt, the expression at 8 pt, and the year at 7 pt. Keep 5 mm inside the die and keep the internal lines above 0.4 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the 12 pt house on the curve, where an internal line can fill; keep it above 0.4 mm. Confirm the 7 pt year reads on the shelf and that the label holds in a cellar.
Cover for a mystery title
A narrow blackletter frames a mystery cover, and the delicate hooks give the title character without a scene. It frames a mystery cover.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 80 mm cap height across 175 mm, the author in a 11 pt serif, and the imprint at 8 pt. Print two colours on a textured stock and keep 22 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Check the title at 80 mm, where a hook can clot; keep the counters open. Confirm the 8 pt imprint survives lamination and that the corner ornaments clear the trim.
