## About Oleo Script

Oleo Script is a script typeface in which each letter stands on its own instead of linking to the next. The specimen shows a forward slant, thick strokes that swell and taper like lettering done with a broad brush, and capitals that keep simple shapes with few flourishes. Because the letters are separate and the forms are sturdy, words stay legible where a joined script would tangle. The family has two weights, Regular and Bold, and both are already heavy; the difference between them is modest. Each font contains 235 glyphs in the Latin subset. Soytutype is credited as designer and holds the copyright. The official notes mention a separate sister family with swash capitals. Oleo Script was added to Google Fonts in 2012.

## Where it works

- **Food and drink packaging**: Thick, slanted lettering reads as a hand-painted label on jars, bottles and menus.
- **Headlines and captions**: Unjoined letters keep short titles legible at sizes where connected scripts close up.
- **Greeting cards and invitations**: A name or greeting in Oleo Script gives an informal, hand-lettered tone without ornate capitals.
- **Posters and adverts**: Bold holds a single word or phrase at large size with strong weight.
- **Book jackets**: The official notes list book covers among the intended settings for a title line.

## Things to know

- **Letters do not connect**: Oleo Script is a non-connected script: there are no joining strokes between lowercase letters.
- **Small character set**: With 235 glyphs, the letters for Turkish, Polish and Czech are incomplete. French is covered except for the rarely used capital Ÿ.
- **Swash capitals are a separate family**: The swash version mentioned in the notes is not part of this package.
