About Bonheur Royale

Bonheur Royale is a script typeface that looks written with a flexible pen or small brush. Its official notes call it casual and contemporary, a calligraphic hand with a hint of brush, and point to the contrast of thick and thin strokes as the source of its legibility. In the specimen downstrokes are firm and joins are thin, the slant is moderate, and the lowercase links closely with short, even letters. Capitals are wider and begin with a horizontal sweep from the left; the B and R carry a small inner loop, and the g and y close with open bowls below the line. The family has one Regular style and is not a variable font. The 610 glyphs cover the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese character sets. Robert Leuschke is the designer, and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Bonheur Royale works

Invitations and announcements
Sweeping capitals and closely joined lowercase set names and a headline for weddings, christenings and dinners.
Restaurant menus
Section titles such as starters and desserts in the script sit above dish lists set in a text face.
Name cards and certificates
Firm downstrokes keep a person's name readable when it is the largest element on the page.
Product names on labels
Thick-and-thin strokes give a brand name on candles, cosmetics or wine a hand-written finish.
