What can be more lovely than a wedding, an intimate invitation, a gift from the heart? One whose presentation uses the warm & welcoming family of typefaces, Adorn. With a modern & sometimes quirky twist on the staid, almost corporate look of formal invitations, this family of lettering typefaces arms designers with a breathtakingly large number of faces that work harmoniously, despite the distinctiveness of each. Even larger & more multilayered than Worthington’s award-winning Charcuterie collection, Adorn offers seven display fonts, four script designs, monograms, ornaments, illustrations, banners, frames, & catchwords.
Anyone in the business of helping others celebrate life—florists, menu designers, landscapers, caterers, tailors, event planners—will find fitting fonts in the Adorn collection. DIYers & designers will enjoy Adorn, too, for use in prints & drawings, quotes, invitations for gatherings, greeting cards, baby showers, gift cards, even wine bottles.
While each font in the carefully orchestrated Adorn collection can stand alone, the particular combination of contrasting scripts, display fonts, romans, & the multitude of stylized fonts in Adorn’s extraordinary toolkit makes each designer’s creation one of a kind.
MONOGRAMS The jewel in the crown of this collection may be the three monogram design styles: Adorn Solo for one letter, Adorn Duo for a pair, & Adorn Trio for the classic three-letter monogram. Simply type in the lowercase letters & your monogram is finished.
Solo is fresh & airy; Duo is more calligraphic, blossoming before your eyes; Trio is denser, with the center letter carrying a hint of art nouveau. Graphic designers will have their own uses for these; DIYers will see a takeoff point for jewelry, cards, invitations, rubber stamps—an endless source for personalizing & elevating the everyday, the special gathering, or a handmade creation.
CATCHWORDS, BANNERS, FRAMES, & ORNAMENTS Adorn offers four noteworthy “extra” fonts, though the creative professional will find them anything but superfluous: catchwords, banners, frames, & ornaments.
Twenty Adorn Catchwords, all custom hand-lettered using a fountain pen calligraphic technique, provide a stunning way to display frequently used words to connect factual information or simply to bridge the gap between a lavish script & a hard-working display font.
Twenty Adorn Banners, each with a mirrored image left & right element, are available, with a customized center that can be expanded to encapsulate a message or heading of any width. Adorn Frames is a highly customizable set of elements offering a multitude of approaches to creating frames of any width, height, & style. Use it for corner elements, borders, or to make an actual frame. Adorn Frames features twenty corner elements & nine sets of top, bottom, & side pieces, along with a detailed description in the User’s Guide on how to construct the frames.
In keeping with the spirit of the collection, Adorn Ornaments gift the designer with 130 unique ornamental illustrations. From works inspired by nature, to stunning wreaths, embellishments, rules, & iconic wedding symbols, Adorn Ornaments are meant to accompany the scripts, rather than restricting them to a theme.
SCRIPT TYPEFACES Adorn’s script typefaces, using modern lettering with a cursive impression, are Coronet, Pomander, Garland, & Bouquet. Their common origins—the fountain pen & a singular design aesthetic—give them a cohesive look, one that carries the warmth of the human hand.
Adorn Coronet’s script face exemplifies the Adorn spirit of both modernizing & personalizing typefaces. It’s crisp, angular, & straightforward; it adds a snappy yet subtle edginess, even a slight sense of masculinity, to a design. With 268 swashes & alternate letterforms.
The script face, Adorn Pomander, is a whimsical butterfly of a font: light & airy. The uppercase letters, especially, break the rules of traditional classic calligraphy. With 390 swashes & alternate letterforms. Adorn Garland is a script face that runs along a different, & somewhat “vintage” direction. Rather than deriving its strength from a heavy skeleton or structure, it uses its sense of contrast, its light touch upon the page, & its elongation to provide a visual break – it can function as a long string, rule, or dividing line. With 166 alternate letterforms.
At the other end of the spectrum is the naiveté & giddiness of Adorn Bouquet. It is intentionally irregular, created with a practiced hand to communicate joy—uncontrolled & informal. With 240 alternate letterforms.
ADORN SANS DISPLAY FONTS Of all the fonts in the Adorn Collection, Adorn Sans Condensed may be the most easily identified as bucking the template-derived wedding trend, given its modernity & informality. Brimming with whimsy & the eccentricities of the human touch, Condensed Sans also has contextual alternates with ambicase letters—a distinctive feature not usually found in display fonts.
Like its sister font, Adorn Sans Expanded is a display font with warmth & hand wrought charm that works as an elegant replacement for formal type. Use Sans Expanded in a very small font, loosely tracked, & its personality sings.
ADORN SERIF DISPLAY FONTS Adorn Copperplate has the sturdiness of the classic copperplates, & continues their rich traditional sense of practicality & familiarity—yet with a more modern take. Trendy on wedding invitations, they are all too often heavy-handed. Adorn Copperplate is pretty & structural at once, with tiny surprises poking out: a delicate leg here, a slim stroke there.
Adorn Engraved & Adorn Engraved Expanded are strongly reminiscent of formal invitations popular in the past. Still, the sweet tail of the Q & the irregular qualities of the lines bring it into the twenty-first century. Adorn Engraved Expanded, especially, accentuates the decorative look of the engraved font; the incisions within the stems & serifs allow the designer to use color to enliven them.
Adorn Slab Serif is available in Regular & Bold weights. Though these display fonts can also be used for body text, their uppercase mode shines, adding texture & style to a message. They are perhaps more masculine in style than many of the other typefaces, with a touch of “retro,”—an historic reference with a contemporary spin.
ADORN ROMAN Adorn Roman is both a display & text typeface marked by its traditional calligraphic hand. It was created with a chisel-edged calligraphy pen, & even digitized it has the look of what a designer might create with a calligraphic tool.
