## About Allura

Allura is a script typeface drawn with a thin, almost even pen line and a strong rightward slant. The lowercase letters join and stay small and regular, while the capitals sweep out in long horizontal entry strokes and loops; in the specimen a row of capitals overlaps because each one reaches under its neighbour. The official description explains that this OpenType version merges three sets of letters, casual, script and formal, and adds alternate glyphs and flourished ornaments, which accounts for the 1,048 glyphs in a font with a single Regular style. There is no bold or italic, and Allura is not variable. Coverage includes the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets. Robert Leuschke is credited as the designer. Allura was added to Google Fonts in 2012 and is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Wedding stationery**: Long entry strokes on the capitals frame names on invitations, place cards and menus.
- **Cosmetics and food packaging**: Packaging is one of the uses the design was made for, and the thin pen line reads as a handwritten product name.
- **Advertising headlines**: A short phrase in Allura contrasts with plain supporting type in an advert or banner.
- **Monograms and initials**: The 1,048 glyphs include alternates and flourishes, giving several ways to draw the same initial.

## Things to know

- **Alternates need OpenType support**: The casual, script and formal variants and the flourishes are reached through OpenType features, which not every application exposes.
- **Thin strokes**: The pen line is light throughout; in the small sample line of the specimen it is already fine.
- **Single weight**: Allura has Regular 400 only.
