Fat geometric ligature display with nested letters
Theodore and Scarlett
Theodore and Scarlett is a display ligature face in deep red on cream: fat geometric letters where small letters nest inside the counters of large ones, the two words interlocking so the block reads as one shape with two lines inside it.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Theodore and Scarlett.
The page shows a display face built for pairing letters rather than setting sentences: the capital letters are fat geometric blocks with flat tops, round bowls and no contrast, and the lowercase letters are drawn small enough to sit inside the counters of the capitals, so a second line can nest into the first and the two words interlock. In the sample the nesting produces an ampersand-sized gap where the two names meet, and the eye reads the whole block as one mark rather than as two lines of type. That construction is what the face is sold for: it makes a pair of names into a logo, and it only works when the pairing is designed rather than typed. The palette is a single deep red on cream, and the page carries two small capital lines above and below the block. Theodore and Scarlett is a display face for wedding marks, logos, packaging and apparel, and it needs two short names and a great deal of care in setting.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Theodore and Scarlett’s stroke geometry.
Cover for a design annual
A nested ligature block makes a cover out of two words, and the single colour keeps the construction readable at thumbnail size.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 by 280 mm cover: set the block 170 mm wide, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the credits at 9 pt, and hold 20 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Nested letters can close up at small sizes; proof one cover at the final size and check the gaps.
Mark for a design studio
A nested pair gives a two-name studio a mark that is a monogram rather than a wordmark, and one colour keeps it cheap to print.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 40 mm stamp: set the block 50 mm wide, keep 5 mm of clear ground on all four sides, and hold the mark 10 mm clear above the address line.
Pre-production check
A nested block in a rubber stamp can fill; cut one stamp and press it before ordering the set.
Poster for a joint recital
A nested pair names two performers in one block, which is exactly the situation a duet poster is, and the shape does the layout work.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A3 poster at 297 by 420 mm: set the block 240 mm wide, keep 30 mm of clear ground beneath before the date at 20 pt, and hold 24 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
Two long names may not nest; test the real pair before the artwork is finalised and adjust the sizes.
