## About Fuggles

Fuggles is a handwriting typeface that looks dashed off with a fine pen. The lowercase is tiny and tightly packed, with letters that lean, overlap and sometimes run together, while capitals and ascenders tower over it with open loops and long entry strokes; the F in the specimen is formed from a hooked stem and two loose bars. The line is thin with slight swelling on the downstrokes. Behind the rough look sits a large font: 1,720 glyphs, which the official notes say include hundreds of alternate forms, so that chosen pairs of characters can make the writing look quirky, swashy, scribbled or refined. There is one style, Regular, covering Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Robert Leuschke designed it; the name comes from an English aroma hop raised in 1875 by Richard Fuggle.

## Where it works

- **Signature-style logos**: Tall looping capitals over a tiny lowercase mimic a quickly signed name.
- **Informal invitations**: The alternates let the same word be set in a plainer or a more flourished version.
- **Brewery and bar branding**: The typeface is named after a classic English hop, a ready link for beer labels and tap lists.
- **Handwritten accents in layouts**: One scribbled word beside set type reads as a personal note.
- **Quotes on social media**: Set large, the thin line and loops stay legible over plain backgrounds.

## Things to know

- **Very small lowercase**: Lowercase letters are a fraction of the capital height, so Fuggles needs a much larger point size than text type to be read.
- **Latin with Vietnamese**: The character sets are Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese; there is no Cyrillic or Greek.
- **One style**: Only Regular exists; there is no bold.
