A Note On The Page

Ruthie · Regular

A short letter, set in the family.

Thursday afternoon

Dear Alex,

I left the book by the window. There is a note on page twenty-three that I thought you would like. Bring it along on Thursday; we can finish the conversation over coffee.

See you there.

Emma and Daniel, June 14

Ornate capitals carry Ruthie. Robert Leuschke drew it as a calligraphic script, and the small letters sit low and slim under those big decorated forms, so a name with a capital at the front looks finished on its own.

It is very narrow, too, which lets a long name fit on a place card. 1 Regular style, with a stylistic set and alternates for variety. We would avoid setting a whole word in capitals; the ornate forms look best leading a word in lowercase.
