Shorthand: a fast, unjoined cursive-style font for quick notes
Fast and practical: cursive shapes with the letters lifted apart, like a note jotted between errands.
What Shorthand looks like
- Cursive-shaped letters that do not join.
- Narrow and leaning, with quick, straight strokes.
- One page holds about 22 lines of your message (a plain letter, before a date or return address).
- Accents: English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish.
- How it prints: as fine single lines, in black ink on our letter paper.
When to choose Shorthand
- Thank-yous to a team or a shift
- Quick notes and reminders
- Everyday letters that should sound relaxed
On sent instantly, people write personal letters, thank-yous, birthdays and sympathy notes. Pick the style that sounds like you, and it prints the same on every page.
Reading it
Unjoined, so each letter stands apart, but narrow and quick. Short notes suit it best.
Stationery that suits Shorthand
- Lathe: A banknote rose-engine rosette as a whisper-faint watermark, with a small engraved-style medallion and your name at the head.
- Merci: Thank you in engraved-style shaded capitals, hatched like a banknote title, over one swell rule.
- Tidings: A newspaper-style masthead, ’Christmas Tidings’, between Oxford rules, with your family and the year on the dateline.
Choose the stationery in the letter studio, after you pick the style.
