Romantic brush script with heart-shaped terminals and looping joins
Valentines
Valentine's is a romantic brush script in which the terminals swell into heart shapes, the joins loop high and the thick-to-thin stroke swings, so a single word reads as something written on a card with a loaded brush.

Letterform structure
of Valentines.
The V opens two wide arms with a heart at the apex, the a closes a round bowl, the l loops above the x-height, the e turns a light eye and the final s finishes in a heart-shaped tail, all at a brush contrast with soft, swelling joins and generous entry strokes. The heart terminals are the character: they sit at the ends of the strokes rather than as decoration, so the word carries its own ornament. Because the stroke is fat in the stems and thin in the joins, the face holds from 24 pt upward and wants a smooth stock. The floral frame, the pink ground, the small badge and the round studio credit are presentation; the red script word is the face.

Card for a February gift
The heart terminals carry the occasion without any added ornament, and the brush weight reads on a folded card at 36 pt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 120 mm square card: set the word at 36 pt across the upper half, set one line of greeting in a 10 pt sans beneath, and keep 15 mm of margin so the looping ascender clears the fold at the top.
Pre-production check
A high loop printed across a fold cracks on the crease; check the folded card and move the word down rather than reducing the loop.
Sign for a small reception table
The romantic register suits an intimate dinner, and the brush contrast holds a two-word sign at 60 pt on a printed card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 sign: set the couple's names at 60 pt on two lines, allow 1.4 line spacing for the loops, and keep a 25 mm margin so the descending heart tail is inside the frame line.
Pre-production check
Heart tails on stacked lines collide at normal leading; check the proof and open the spacing before shrinking the names.
Tag for a sweet box
The looping script makes a small sweet box feel handmade, and the brush stroke stays solid at 18 pt on an uncoated kraft tag.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 80 mm tag: set the word at 18 pt in the upper third, punch a 4 mm hole 10 mm from the top, and keep the heart terminal of the last letter clear of the punched hole.
Pre-production check
A heart terminal printed at the hole tears when the string is tied; check the assembled tag and turn the word so the terminal faces the lower edge.
