## About Lobster Two

Lobster Two is a script typeface that turns the single-style Lobster into a small family. It has two weights, Regular and Bold, and each comes upright and italic, four styles in total. In the specimen the lowercase letters join along the baseline, the capital L carries a looped foot, the f descends below the line and the ampersand is drawn as a looped E; the Regular is noticeably lighter than the original Lobster and stands upright, while the italics lean. The fonts hold 354 glyphs and cover the basic Latin subset only, without the Cyrillic and Vietnamese found in Lobster itself. Pablo Impallari is named as designer and Impallari Type as the source. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1, with Lobster as a reserved font name.

## Where it works

- **Cafe and bakery signage**: The joined lowercase and looped capitals give a shop name the look of painted sign lettering.
- **Labels with two levels of text**: Bold can carry the product name and Regular a line beneath it, which the one-style Lobster cannot do.
- **Upright script headings**: The upright Regular sets a script heading without a slant, useful beside upright body type.
- **Wordmarks and badges**: Swash-like capitals such as the L and T give short names a distinct outline inside a badge or stamp.

## Things to know

- **Basic Latin only**: The fonts carry the Latin subset alone. Turkish, Czech and Romanian letters are incomplete, and there is no Cyrillic.
- **Reserved name**: The license reserves the name Lobster, so a modified version has to be released under a different name.
- **Capitals lead into lowercase**: The capitals are drawn to start a word; words set entirely in capitals look crowded in the specimen's alphabet line.
