Nuptial Script and ITC Kristen

Designed by Intertype's design group under the direction of Edwin W. Shaar in about 1952, Nuptial Script is an informal face designed especially for wedding invitations. Ornate without being fussy, Nuptial Script is a welcome alternative to more commonly used alternatives.Nuptial Script's letterforms were influenced both by English copperplate hands and Italian calligraphic swash capitals.

ITC Kristen is the work of American designer George Ryan. He describes it as "not your average text or display font." The inspiration for the design came from the handwritten menu at a neighborhood restaurant. With time, the forms moved away from the originals and towards something more like a child's scrawl. The result is singularly unique. ITC Kristen remains legible without losing any charm.
