designed to be mixed & matched
Envoy font collection
This collection was inspired by old 18th and 19th c. Napoleonic documents and empheria we found at the Marché aux Puces de Clignancourt flea market during our many trips to Paris. This set has 4 mixed fonts that are curated to create an effect of being perfectly mismatched, but when all laid out on the table as place cards, menu cards, invitations, etc. they create a rich visual harmony. We encourage the use of mixing both names and initials, as photographed.

OLD KINDERHOOK SCRIPT
Old Kinderhook is a historic script inspired by President Martin Van Buren, our Nation's 8th President, and resident of the nearby town of Kinderhook, NY. He earned the nicknames "Little Magician" and the "Red Fox" for his cunning politics. When he was President, Van Buren used a code, 'O.K' to denote a person who was on the 'inside' and could be trusted. It meant that they were either from 'Old Kinderhook,' or had connections there. The expression 'O.K.' is used all around the world to this day.

SPENCERIAN SCRIPT
Spencerian Script is a time-tested classic developed in 1848 by American educator and handwriting teacher Platt Rogers Spencer. Spencer believed that America needed a style of penmanship that could be written quickly, legibly and elegantly for both business correspondence and personal letter-writing. In 1848, Spencer, along with Victor M. Rice, published Spencer and Rice's System of Business and Ladies' Penmanship.

Noble Font
Noble carries the regal legacy of its name, evoking the grandiosity of ceremonial decrees. Nobles's engraved appearance harks back to an era where print was a craft, and a message held the weight of its presentation. Its all-capital stature and delicate shading echo the careful hand of a master engraver, once dedicated to crafting imagery for nobility. Ideal for headlines, it commands attention with an air of authenticity and heritage, ensuring that your event's title is not merely read, but revered.

Canton Font
Canton draws from a different well of inspiration, where East meets West under Napoleonic influence. Its characters, bold and upright, carry with them the mystique of the Orient—a tribute to the empire's reach and its exotic encounters offering a glimpse into a past where such cultures intermingled with European sophistication. It's a font that speaks of journeys: the caravans that traversed the Silk Road, the spices that perfumed the Parisian markets, and the tales of eastern grandeur that captivated the salons of the 19th century. On your table, Canton doesn't just spell out a name; it evokes the spirit of adventure and discovery.
