About Emilys Candy

Emilys Candy is a display typeface that looks like a high-contrast serif alphabet drawn with a pen instead of set in metal. In the specimen the thick strokes have slightly wavering edges, the thin strokes are hairlines, and many letters end in a small spiral: the tails of y, g and j, the top of a and the ends of C, S and s. The dots of i and j are hearts. Capitals are wide and heavy, and the figures are lining numerals in the same thick-and-thin manner. The official description tells a short tale of a girl buying penny candy, which gives the face its name. The family is one Regular style with 231 glyphs covering the basic Latin set. Crystal Kluge designed it for Neapolitan, a trading name of Font Diner, under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Things to know

One style

Emilys Candy has a single Regular style, with no bold or italic.

Hearts are the default dots

Every i and j in the specimen carries a heart, so the motif appears wherever those letters occur.

Hairlines need size

The thin strokes and small spirals are fine details that fade when the type is set small.

Western Latin coverage

The 231 glyphs stop at the basic Latin subset; Turkish, Czech and Hungarian letters are not included.
