There are a couple of reasons why Mafalda Hopkirk mattered. Firstly, she was the one who wrote to Harry when he (or Dobby) performed illegal underage magic outside of school.
This allowed Hogwarts letters to be sent to all magical children at the appropriate time, even those who were Muggle-born. The Hogwarts letter consisted of a note of acceptance from the Deputy Headmaster or Headmistress of Hogwarts.
For the actual prop, they didn't use a font, as it was handwritten by Miraphora Mina (one of the main graphic designers on all the Harry Potter – and now Fantastic Beasts – films). The font you see here is a recreation which made by a fan (you can read about that here: The Perfect Hogwarts Acceptance Letter…)
The letter is written on parchment paper and delivered to the recipient by owl, except in the case of Muggle-borns and magical children living with Muggles (such as Harry Potter), where the initial acceptance letter is delivered by the regular Muggle post.
Ing to the rules of the Harry Potter universe, only those with magical ability that are born in the United Kingdom and Ireland (or move there at a young age and manifest magic that then gets registered by the Hogwarts Book of Admittance and Quill of Acceptance) will get a Hogwarts letter.
There is only one way that a student is selected to go to Hogwarts, and that choice isn't made by a person. In fact, it is made by a book and quill. In a tower at Hogwarts, where no student goes, sits the Book of Admittance and Quill of Acceptance. These objects decide who gets a place at Hogwarts.
We are please to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a celebration of (name) Birthday. Please join us at (time) on 2024 at (address).

The very first letter Harry receives at Hogwarts is from Hagrid inviting him to tea at the end of his first week. Harry's family, OTOH, only tolerate his presence in their home, nothing more. They do send him something small at Christmas time… if they remember.
When a student was Muggle-born the acceptance letter was delivered in person by a member of the Hogwarts faculty. The faculty member acted as a special messenger, who explained everything to the student and parents.
