font love: nelly script

I met illustrator and calligrapher Crystal Kluge of Tart Workshop at the National Stationery Show last May and was blown away by her talent. She recently released a new set of fonts, based on her calligraphy, called Nelly Script and Nelly Script Flourish. Needless to say both fonts are now at the top of my studio supply wish list.

Here is how Tart Workshop describes their font: "Nelly is a beautiful yet sensible romantic ... she’s a bit formal but not stuffy and simply adores a lovely party." Indeed, I can totally see Nelly adorning a backyard garden party invitation, or a save the date announcement for a romantic afternoon tea.
