Lettering that fits a pendant

Short wins. A name, a date, or a line of four to six words reads clearly on a pendant; a whole paragraph does not. If the words matter, tell us the priority and we will set the rest smaller or move it to the back.

Lettering has three dials: font, size and spacing. A clean serif or a simple handwritten face suits most names, while very decorative scripts lose their thin strokes when scaled down. We set the size against the pendant shape, then check the spacing so letters do not touch.

You will see a layout before production. Read it out loud, check the spelling, and confirm the line breaks — that is the moment to change anything, because once the piece goes into production the text is fixed.
