About Birthstone Bounce

Birthstone Bounce is a script typeface drawn with a steep slant and thin, pen-like strokes that swell only slightly on the downstroke. The official notes present it as the sibling of Birthstone with added playfulness, and in the specimen the joined lowercase rises and dips a little from letter to letter instead of holding one level line. The capitals begin with long entry loops; B, D and P carry doubled strokes. The family has two static files, Regular 400 and Medium 500, and is not a variable font. Its 1,443 glyphs include swashed capitals and ending forms alongside the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese character sets. Robert Leuschke is the designer, and the fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. The lowercase is small beside the capitals, so the face works at display sizes.

Where Birthstone Bounce works

Invitations and save-the-dates

Looped capitals and the uneven, dancing lowercase set names and headings for parties, showers and weddings.

Greeting cards

A short phrase in the joined script looks hand-penned, and ending swashes can finish the last word.

Signature-style wordmarks

A first name or studio name in Birthstone Bounce resembles a quick signature for boutiques and makers.

Lines that need a firmer stroke

Medium 500 thickens the hairlines a step, which helps when the script is printed small or reversed out of a colour.

Things to know

Regular and Medium only

The two weights are close together: Medium is a slightly sturdier version, not a bold.

Swashes are in the glyph set

The 1,443 glyphs hold swashed capitals and ending forms; reaching them depends on OpenType support in the software used.

Capitals lead into lowercase

The all-capitals row in the specimen tangles, so capitals are meant to serve as initials.
