About Loved by the King

Loved by the King is a handwriting typeface made of tall, thin, unconnected letters. Stems lean a little in different directions, bowls are narrow ovals, and letters such as g, j and y end in long hooked tails. Capitals reach about the same height as the ascenders, and the spaces between words are wide in relation to the slim letters. Kimberly Geswein, who designed it, calls it a skinny font that fits into small places and counts it among the first fonts she released online. The family has one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 355 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended, including the letters for Polish, Czech, Turkish and Romanian. Loved by the King is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Greeting card messages

A short line in the single Regular style looks written by hand with a felt pen.
