About Parisienne

Parisienne is a script typeface whose lowercase letters join in a continuous slanted line. The official notes call it a casual connecting script, inspired by a bra advertisement from the 1960s, with a slight bounce and deliberate irregularity that loosen what would otherwise look like a formal hand. In the specimen the strokes are thin with only mild thickening, the capitals open with large loops, and the numerals are oversized and looped as well. The credit goes to Astigmatic; the copyright notice names Brian J. Bonislawsky trading as Astigmatic (AOETI). There is one Regular style, without bold, and no variable file. The 372 glyphs cover the Latin and Latin Extended subsets, including Turkish, Polish and Czech letters; Romanian is incomplete because ș and ț are absent. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Parisienne works

Wedding and party invitations

Looped capitals and joined lowercase set names and a headline in a hand that is formal but relaxed.

Retro advertising headlines

The model was a 1960s advertisement, so the script fits vintage-style posters and packaging.

Signatures and sign-offs

A name in the bouncing script closes a letter, newsletter or about page like a written signature.

Café and boutique menus

Section titles in Parisienne mark courses or collections above a plain text face.
