Smaragd is a light and gracious font especially appropriate for titles and cards. It is Gudrun Zapf von Hesse's interpretation of Baroque adornment engravings. Smaragd is clear and festive, well-suited to titles and headings, initials and private printed materials, such as cards and stationery.

Please do not get over it

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.
