About Great Vibes

Great Vibes is a script typeface in which the lowercase letters join into a continuous slanted line while the capitals open with large loops and entry strokes. Thin upstrokes and thicker downstrokes recall writing with a pointed pen. The family has a single Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 1,973 glyphs include connecting ligatures and alternate characters that keep the joins smooth between letter pairs. Character sets cover Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic and Vietnamese; according to the official notes, coverage was widened in March 2024 to add Sub-Saharan Latin and Cyrillic. Robert Leuschke is credited as the designer, and the fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. The capitals are wide and ornate, so the face is drawn for short lines at large sizes rather than for paragraphs.

Where Great Vibes works

Wedding invitations
Looping capitals carry names and headings on invitations and save-the-date cards set at large sizes.
Names and monograms
The ornate capitals make initials and short names the focus of a card, label or certificate.
Greeting cards and quotes
A short phrase in the joined lowercase reads as handwriting on cards and social media graphics.
Wordmarks for small brands
A single word in Great Vibes works as a wordmark where the look of a handwritten signature is wanted.
