Author's note

Tagettes by Pia Frauss is a free calligraphic script with a light, looping hand and an old-fashioned flourish. The letters lean on long, sweeping curves - especially in the opening capital and trailing strokes - while the rest of the font stays soft, rounded, and quietly ornamental rather than fussy.

It fits invitations, boutique branding, book covers, cafe menus, and short packaging lines where a free font can bring in a handwritten, slightly formal tone without looking rigid. Use it for title cards, monograms, or drop-in names too, because those extended swashes give short words room to feel composed and ceremonial.
