Author's note

HD GEMS4 by Helen Duggan is a free ornamental dingbat font built from curling scrollwork, carefully balanced open oval centers, and tiny jewel-like accent details. The balanced forms recall decorative metalwork and vintage flourishes.

Packaging gives these motifs a convincing role as medallions for perfume labels, confectionery boxes, or boutique gift tags. The repeated curls also suit invitations and event programs with a romantic or theatrical theme. Rather than behaving like ordinary text, a chosen symbol can become the central crest of a label or an illustrated badge for event graphics.
