Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Witch Hazel.
The stems carry a real weight, the flares widen just under the serifs, the counters close round and two letters leave the baseline: the curled h and the long z tail. The flare is the character, since it gives a plain word a witchy edge without adding ornament. Source notes also list PUA extras, ligatures, stylistic alternates and a bold cut, so check which of those the file actually carries before promising a swash, and keep 30 pt as the floor so the thin flares survive print.

Card for a witchy supper
The flared serif gives a supper invitation its seasonal tone, and the round bowls hold a two-word line at 28 pt on an A6 card without extra ornament.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A6 card: set the invitation line at 28 pt in mixed case across the upper third, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath for the curled h and the low z tail, and set the date at 10 pt in a plain serif at the foot.
Pre-production check
A flare printed under 24 pt closes into a blob; check the proof and hold the invitation line at 26 pt or above.
Label for a herb shop
The substantial serif suits a herbal label, and the flared joins stay solid at 20 pt on a 55 mm panel printed in one dark ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 55 by 40 mm label: set the shop name at 20 pt, keep 5 mm of border so no flare is trimmed, and set the town at 6 pt in small caps 4 mm beneath the name.
Pre-production check
Pale lettering on a tinted ground loses contrast; check the label as a greyscale print before choosing the second colour.
Heading for a folklore feature
The curled terminals set a folklore heading, and the wide bowls hold a two-word title at 48 pt across a printed page with a generous measure.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the heading at 48 pt on one row, keep 20 mm beneath before the standfirst at 10 pt, and keep the whole block inside the text column so the z tail does not reach the gutter.
Pre-production check
Long terminals on a justified column can collide with body text; check the page and keep the heading ragged right.
