Le Mas de Grace · Lettering · 4 August 2026
Six different sets of lettering for the website, side by side. The words are identical in every panel — the same name, the same sentence, the same button — so the only thing changing from one to the next is the lettering itself. Read them across, not down.
Two are marked Jeremy’s pick — those are Jeremy's, not a decision. Everything here is still open.
The name is spelled Le Mas de Grace — no accent, and Le, not La. It has to match the web address. That spelling is also the quickest way to judge a set of letters: watch the G, the M, and the way the L opens the line.
Cinzel Decorative · Cinzel · Lora
No script at all. The name is cut in decorative capitals, like a plaque beside a door, with just enough flourish in the C and the G to be an ornament.

Private bookings only. There is no listing, no calendar and no fee — you write, and I write back. There is no booking site and there will not be one: you send the dates and how many of you there are, and I answer the email myself.
The name
Write to BookThe trade: handsome at any size and easy to use anywhere. But capitals are tiring to read in quantity, and this lettering is a common choice for invitations — it can read as a template.
Cinzel · Cormorant Garamond · Alegreya Sans
The direction you ranked first, with a more classic nameplate — Roman capitals, so the name reads formal before the page has said anything.

The name
Write to BookThe trade: it never quite relaxes. The capitals are always a little formal, and there is no quiet version of them to fall back on.
Monsieur La Doulaise · Cinzel · Sentient
Flowing script for the name, engraved capitals for the headings, a warm serif to read. The lettering of a menu card or a wedding programme.

The name
Write to BookThe trade: the most memorable of the six, and the most demanding. The script only works large, so the header, the footer and the browser tab would each need a plain version of the name alongside it.
Ballet · Erode
A quieter, more upright script. It stays readable at small sizes, so the name can appear more than once on a page.

The name
Write to BookThe trade: gentler than the first, and more familiar — closer to a greeting card than to a house. It is one of the most-used scripts on the internet right now.
EB Garamond · Author
The nameplate you called the most classic, given a warmer partner underneath. Letter-spaced capitals, nothing decorative anywhere.

The name
Write to BookThe trade: the safest of the six. Nothing about it is wrong and nothing about it is memorable; it lives or dies on the photographs.
Libre Franklin · Erode
Plain American lettering, softened by a serif for the reading. Understated on purpose — the type gets out of the photographs' way.

The name
Write to BookThe trade: it defers to the photographs completely. Swap the name out and the lettering could belong to any of two hundred properties.
