Charcuterie, Adorn offers seven display fonts, four script designs,
monograms, ornaments, illustrations, banners, frames,
and catchwords.
Weddings and gift-giving have moved into a new era, one that
is more personal and heartfelt, dispensing with formalities. Even
the concept of elegance has morphed from something rigid

and elements of nature strewn across our stationery. An elegant
wedding can be set on a hill overlooking the ocean, not from a
seaside mansion, but at a spot arrived at after tromping a mile

through the forest. As we say farewell to cookie-cutter weddings
an intimate invitation, a gift from the
and templated events, Adorn helps us kiss corporate-looking

stationery goodbye.

about
Adorn Garland
Adorn Garland is a script face that runs along a different, and

somewhat vintage direction. Beautiful as it is, it works as more
of a textural element than a headliner, a supporting actor rather
than the leading rolethough designers can make much of it on its
own if they choose. Its not the bold statement; its the subheading,
the afterword, the reminder: Wedding reception to follow. With its
slow, and gently deliberate style, and long entry and exit swashes,
it can function as a long string, rule, or dividing line. Rather than
deriving its strength from a heavy skeleton or structure, it uses its
sense of contrast, its light touch upon the page, and its elongation
to provide a visual break. With 234 swashes and alternates.

Adorn Bouquet
Adorn Bouquet is the daydreamy doodles in the corner of the

wedding to do list; its the bachelorette party, or the baby shower.
It wants to be fancy, but its exuberance bursts through, spilling
curlicues across the page. Adorn Bouquet is intentionally irregular,
created with a practiced hand to communicate joyuncontrolled and
informal: the champagne bubbles, the tipsy speeches, the heartfelt
poetry. Theres nothing static about this font: The letters bounce along
the baseline, with little tilts all askew, small and large counters, and
exit swashes that bring some letters as close as two lovers or pull them
as far apart as the sweep of an endless train on a bridal gown.

Adorn sans condensed

Of all the fonts in the Adorn Collection, Sans Condensed
may be the most easily identified as bucking the
template-derived wedding trend, given its modernity
and informality. Created for weddings, gatherings, and
pretty handmade items, it would be equally at home
as a branding element of a startup or titling in movie
credits. Brimming with whimsy and the eccentricities of
the human touch, Condensed Sans also has contextual
alternates with ambicase lettersa distinctive feature not
usually found in display fonts.

Adorn sans expanded

Sans Expanded is a display font with warmth and hand
wrought charm that works as an elegant replacement for
formal type. Ideal for tasks such as making addresses, cards,
and gift tags look handwritten, Sans Expandeds potential in
the milieu of love and friendship is unlimited. But see it, too,
as signage for a summer fruit stand or labels for the little
shop around the corner. In contrast to Sans Condensed, the
roughness was exaggerated so that its characteristics, when
compressed, remain intact. Use Sans Expanded in a very
small font, loosely tracked, and its personality sings.

Adorn Copperplate
Adorn Copperplate has the sturdiness of the classic
copperplates, and continues their rich traditional sense
of practicality and familiarityyet with a more modern
take. Trendy on wedding invitations, they are all too
often heavy-handed. Adorn Copperplate is pretty and
structural at once, with tiny surprises poking out:
a delicate leg here, a slim stroke there.

Adorn Slab Serif is available in Regular and Bold weights.
Though these display fonts can also be used for body text,
their uppercase mode shines, adding texture and style
to a message. Adorn Slab Serifs are unique in the Adorn
collection in that they are all mono-weights. 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. The option to use both upper

about
Adorn Roman
Adorn Roman is both a display and text typeface marked
by its traditional calligraphic hand. Technically it is a
humanist sans, with tapering stems and high contrast in
its thicks and thins. It was created with a chisel-edged
calligraphy pen, and even digitized it has the look of
what a designer might create with a calligraphic tool.
With more texture and character than youd typically
find in body text, it brings a softer, warmer look for small
groupings of words. The lowercase adds a practicality
to the collection with its ability to convey information
without straining the eye.

adorn solo
about
Adorn
Adorn Solo is a fresh and airy monogram

font. Simply type in a lowercase letter and
your monogram is finished! These monograms
were carefully wrought: each combination
of letters is a revelation of complex crafting,
with no collisions or overlaps. Despite their
intricacy and detail, these are not your
grandmothers monograms. They are modern
and bursting with personality. Worthington
Solo
sketched them in pencil, then used a fountain

pen for contrast and detail before digitization.

Adorn
Banners
Twenty Adorn Banners, each with a mirrored image

left and right element, are available, with a customized
center that can be expanded to encapsulate a message
or heading of any width. Whether the design requires
something sophisticated, flowery, or hand-drawn
in appearance, or a structure that whispers in the
background so the message itself is the star,
Adorn Banners are marked by the same versatility
as the rest of the collection.

You may adjust the height of

decreasing kerning.

fractional widths from the dropdown menu.

you want to create (InDesign, Illustrator) or click

Click in the text frame and choose Adorn Frames from

Method 1
Using the glyph panel

to create borders
1. Open the glyphs panel and select the top left border
corner. Double-click to insert the corner. Next, select the
right top corner and insert it. Hit Enter on the keyboard.
Repeat this step using the bottom left and right corners.
2. Highlight the border pieces and adjust the font size until
it has the thickness you want, then adjust the leading
to be the same size as the font. E.g., if your font is 48 pt,
your leading should be 48 pt.
3. Place your cursor between the top left and right corner
pieces and insert a horizontal piece from the glyph
menu. Do the same between the left and right bottom
corners. Now, place your cursor on the right side of
the top right corner and hit the Enter key. Select a
vertical piece from the glyph menu to insert, then add
vertical pieces to the right side of the border, adding
spaces as necessary. Continue adding vertical and
horizontal pieces until the border is the width and
height that you want. When you have your border the
way you like, lock the layer and create a new layer for
the rest of your design.

2. Highlight the border pieces and adjust the font size until it has the
thickness you want, then adjust the leading to the same size as the
font. E.g., if your font is 48 pt, your leading should be 48 pt. Note: in
some programs, such as Microsoft Word, you wont need to adjust
leading. If there are any gaps in the vertical frame pieces, set your
line spacing to single in the Formatting Palette and/or in Paragraph
Spacing, Before and After are set to zero.
3. Place your cursor between the top left and right corner pieces and
type the letters/numbers/symbols for the horizontal piece. Do the
same between the left and right bottom corners. Now, place your
cursor on the right side of the top right corner and hit the Enter key.
Type the letter/number/symbol of the vertical piece that you want
on the left side of the border, then do the same to the right side,
adding spaces as necessary. Continue adding vertical and horizontal
pieces until the border is the width and height that you want.

Ornaments
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, and iconic wedding
symbols, Adorn Ornaments are meant to accompany
the scripts, rather than restricting them to a theme.
They dance from whimsical to modern to vintage looks,
yet stay safely within the range of the spectrum that is
appropriate for the style of the scripts.
