Our Story
Honest Type is a Fine Art Paper Goods and Calligraphy business founded by calligrapher, Jacinta, an Aussie living in San Francisco with her husband and their playful cat, Cali.
“My mornings always start with coffee, a walk, and some quiet time, and from there, every day is an adventure of its own — I love designing stationery because each project I have the privilege of creating is individually unique and holds a special place in the lives of my clients.”
Jacinta discovered calligraphy and stationery design after moving to Los Angeles from Melbourne, Australia. With free time now open for her to explore, Jacinta decided to try a calligraphy starter-kit a friend had gifted as a going-away present. As her love for the art form began to flourish, Honest Type was born.
“I’m a self-starter at heart, and as I began to genuinely explore the art form, showcasing my work and trying new letterforms brought me more joy and life than I initially comprehended. Soon enough, I was creating fresh and amazing projects for a variety of new clients I felt passionate about working with. It really was such an exhilarating way to realize that this was very quickly becoming a brand new personal career-path (and all the more fulfilling to have a unique, daily opportunity to bring my clients’ artistic visions to life.)”
Honest Type is privileged to work with luxury fashion houses, businesses, event planners, entertainment industry professionals & producers, wedding planners, brides & their grooms, and so many more all over California and abroad.

“Each place setting was paired with a hand-calligraphed French Macaron which created the perfect guest-minded experience to welcome everyone to their seat. -Naomi, Bowties & Bouquets”
“Honest Type had clear acrylic adorned in gold foil flakes on the opposite edges, for the place cards and table number. This was then paired with a menu that had a combination of gold foil and deep red velvet running down the side.”
“Bespoke white painted wooden signage throughout the event provided a slightly modern flair to the affair with hand-painted block lettering and calligraphy, which were hung on custom made oversized rust frames. Signs included a welcome sign, order of events, a playful non-assigned seating sign for the ceremony, espresso bar, and bar & sweets signage.
