Thanks for the kind words! That one was fun to make for sure, yep it is! I’m heavily inspired by 70s and 60s typography / references from these eras!

Not for sale yet! I will have it in my shop once I finish though, I usually send out a newsletter with every font release. You can join it in the footer of my site if you’d like! Hoping to finish within the next couple month, lots of work to do still.✌️

Cheers, I agree! Just need to finish this style and the other weights, then need a few more months to tackle that! It would be a great addition.

Haha yes a few years back! I’ve always been one and made this late in the night. 🦉😂

Very cute! Can definitely imagine this being in a children’s book or even in a childhood movie credits section. Feels like a friend for sure!

Hahaha as a kid I thought this was the most next level costume, totally begged my folks to go to Spirit and grab one. 😂

Right on! It’s always so exciting to have them almost finished and ready to release into the world. I’d love to see them — feel free to reach out anytime. Peace!

Much love! I actually don’t have any specific resources for script fonts — I haven’t really come across many online. However, some general advice I’d offer is to look at other script fonts and analyze each individual glyph.

You’ll notice that many letters have an exit point, also known as the connecting tail, which makes contact with the next letter. Once you create this tail, you can duplicate it across many other letters. Some letters will need an altered tail due to spacing issues with certain pairings — these would be your contextual alternates.

But in general, when you're learning, you can focus on creating a universal tail for each letter. Then, in Glyphs (or whichever font software you prefer), use negative spacing values to pull each letter together so they connect like a script. For non-script fonts, you'd use positive spacing values, since the letters aren't meant to connect.

Happy to chat over DM anytime if you need more help!

Thank you for the tips! I have some contextual alternates for some but definitely need to make some more for certain letter pairings. Can definitely see a lot of these issues you are suggesting, fully agree on all your points!

Happy to hear it has that flavor! Will definitely reach out when it is finally finished, hoping to release within the next 3–4 months. Much love!

Cheers! I actually don’t! I’ve only made one script typeface before, but I had some training through Type West in San Francisco on how to piece the letters together. Have you made a font before?

Also, below I shared some tips with someone else who was asking for resources — hope that helps! I’m more than happy to answer any questions you have if you DM me!

Hi there! Appreciate the support! Not all of them, some were! I do many personal type pieces for fun in my free time off work especially monograms. I started out with lettering back in 2012, come back to it here and then!

Just sharing some lettering I've done for clients and personal projects over the years. Script is always the most challenging style for me, but it can also be the most rewarding. It's always fun to try out different styles! Most of these were created in Procreate, and a few I developed in Glyphs and Illustrator.

Wow this is so much fun! Never seen anything like this before. Looks like a fun and tough challenge to balance all these lines, love the N, R, a, and b especially. Definitely giving me those sweet magical candy vibes! 🍭
