Beyond the letters

About the design
Fraunces arrives with its SOFT and WONK axes turned on, which is what makes the name look hand-cut rather than engineered; Nunito carries the running text. The page is paper — fine-grained cream, brown ink, a terracotta accent, with sage and teal as alternatives and fourteen leaves falling slowly across it. The central panel behaves like a printed sheet: opaque, barely rounded, lifted by a print shadow instead of frosted glass. Sections are numbered as chapters in roman numerals under a hairline rule, and each one hinges down from its top edge as you scroll.
Which events it suits
It suits a christening, and a wedding held with the christening on the same day — that is when the story genuinely runs to several chapters, and the roman numerals tie church to restaurant without repeating a word. No pink, no baby blue, so nothing has to be chosen by the child's gender. Birthdays are not offered here: one chapter would leave a lone numeral I.
