About the family


MFC Arteaga Borders is inspired by a rare 1865 embroidery pattern catalog featuring delicate beadwork and flowing ornamental side panels. The original repeating textile motifs have been carefully expanded and engineered into complete, buildable border systems — including matching corners and framing elements that preserve the fluid rhythm of the historic designs. Arteaga carries the elegance of hand-stitched ornament into digital typography. Its graceful scallops, bead-like details, and flowing curves make it ideal for wedding invitations, vintage packaging, heritage branding, book design, certificates, menus, and decorative editorial layouts. The aesthetic leans romantic and textile-inspired rather than rigid or architectural — making it especially suited for projects that call for softness and ornamental warmth. This border system is designed for practical use. Side pieces connect seamlessly, corners align cleanly, and alternate frame options allow you to build square or rectangular compositions with ease. How It Works Simply type the assigned character sequences to construct borders and frames. Match the font size to the leading (for example, 12pt type with 12pt leading) to ensure seamless alignment. Arteaga includes coordinated sides, corners, and frame components so you can quickly build everything from simple rectangular trims to fully enclosed ornamental frames. Once assembled, borders can be recolored, scaled, and layered for additional visual richness.
