Follow the documented ornamental starting point
The Los Andes publisher account explains that a visit to Brazil inspired ornaments and dingbats, which developed into a handmade serif display family. The listing distinguishes Essential and Swash members alongside decorative resources. It also describes Garden Catchwords as a brush-calligraphic collection that does not provide standard alphanumeric characters. A reference to that collection should not be interpreted as proof that arbitrary words can be typed with it; confirm the actual resource and package being considered.
Let the wording lead a botanical label
Set the real product name, quantity and required explanatory text before choosing an ornament. Keep the botanical element separate from the lettering so it can move without changing a word’s spacing. Compare an Essential heading against the appropriate Swash choice and inspect whether decoration crowds a neighboring line. Use a catchword only if it supplies the exact intended phrase; do not replace missing words with misleading decorative stand-ins. Keep functional information readable without relying on the ornament.
Match the original package to the actual task
Inspect the publisher’s character and decorative specimens before selecting the necessary family members. Corben and Rye are independent serif-display comparisons, not Garden previews or substitutes for its botanical extras. Record the exact style and resource names in editable artwork. Consult the original listing for package contents and terms instead of assuming that an alphabet, ornament set and catchword collection all accompany every purchase.
