About Oooh Baby

Oooh Baby is a script typeface drawn with a thin line of constant width, as if written with a fine felt pen. The lowercase leans to the right and joins from letter to letter, while the capitals are wide, open shapes built from a few sweeping strokes; the O is a large tilted oval. Descenders on g, j and y end in narrow loops, and the numerals share the slant and lightness of the letters. The official description presents it as a small, cute font for scrapbooking and play. The family has one Regular style with no bold, and it is not a variable font. Its 623 glyphs cover Western and Central European Latin as well as Vietnamese. Robert Leuschke is the designer, and the copyright notice names The Oooh Baby Project Authors. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Oooh Baby works

Scrapbook pages and journals
Scrapbooking is the use named in the official description; the thin line sits lightly over photos and patterned paper.
Cards and informal invitations
Joined lowercase gives a greeting or a name the look of quick, neat penmanship.
Signature-style sign-offs
A first name in the wide capitals and linked lowercase resembles a signature under a letter or newsletter.
Quotes on social graphics
A short phrase at a large size keeps the hairline strokes visible on a plain background.
Vietnamese names and greetings
Vietnamese accented letters are part of the font, so names with stacked diacritics stay in the same script.
