## About Smooch

Smooch is a script typeface that imitates writing done quickly with a loaded brush. The letters lean hard to the right, the lowercase joins into a low, running line, and in the specimen many strokes end in split bristle marks where the brush lifts off. Capitals are tall and open with long horizontal entry strokes. According to its official description it is a little bolder than its designer's other hand-lettered scripts. The font offers as many as five stylistic sets and separate initial and final forms of letters, which accounts for 1,067 glyphs against 593 encoded characters. Smooch has one Regular style and is not a variable font. It covers Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Robert Leuschke designed it, and it is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Logos and wordmarks**: Initial and final forms let the first and last letters of a name take a different stroke from those in the middle.
- **Social media graphics**: A short phrase in the streaked brush strokes reads as hand-painted over a photograph.
- **Apparel and merchandise prints**: The dry-brush ends give a slogan a rough, printed-by-hand texture.
- **Posters for music and sport**: The steep slant and bold strokes add speed to a headline.
- **Packaging callouts**: One or two words in Smooch flag a flavour or an offer next to plainer label text.

## Things to know

- **Features need OpenType support**: Stylistic sets and positional forms depend on the application's OpenType handling; without it only the default letters appear.
- **One style**: Smooch has Regular only, with no lighter or heavier cut.
- **Not for all capitals**: The specimen's capital row shows the long entry strokes running into neighbouring letters.
