About Style Script

Style Script is a script typeface with an almost upright stance. Thick downstrokes and hairline connections give it strong contrast, the lowercase is narrow and tightly joined, and the capitals open with wide horizontal entry strokes that sweep in from the left, as the A, H and M in the specimen show. According to the official notes, the design combines the simplicity of advertising lettering from the 1950s and 60s with current detailing, and its three stylistic sets (Plain, Script and Formal) move the look from casual to formal. With those alternates the font holds 969 glyphs in a single Regular style. There is no bold or italic, and the font is not variable. Character sets cover Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Robert Leuschke is the designer; the name table gives his name as Robert E. Leuschke.

Where Style Script works

Retro advertising headlines
The model is mid-century advertising script, so slogans and offers pick up that period tone.
Logos and wordmarks
Sweeping capitals followed by narrow joined lowercase make a compact signature-like mark.
Wedding and party invitations
The Formal stylistic set dresses names and headings; Plain keeps secondary lines calmer.
Labels and packaging
High contrast and narrow letters let a product name run across a label in one line.
Names with accents
Latin Extended and Vietnamese coverage handles names in Polish, Czech, Turkish or Vietnamese.
