## About Swanky and Moo Moo

Swanky and Moo Moo is a handwriting typeface with separate, upright letters drawn in a thin line of constant thickness. The source, according to the official notes, is the handwriting of a young mother, and the name comes from her family's nicknames. In the specimen the lowercase is small and wide beside tall capitals, the capital M is made of two pointed arches, the g and y end in open hooks, and the 7 has a bar across its stem. Letters do not connect, so words keep clear gaps between characters. The family consists of one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 344 glyphs cover Latin with part of Latin Extended, including the letters for Polish and Hungarian. Kimberly Geswein is credited as designer, and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Notes written over photos**: Thin, unjoined letters look like a pen annotation on a snapshot, a mood board or a slide.
- **Scrapbook and album captions**: The wide, small lowercase reads as a personal caption beneath pictures and keepsakes.
- **Recipe cards and jar labels**: Separate letters stay legible in short lists of ingredients or contents written at modest sizes.
- **Personal blogs and quote images**: A line of text in one person's recognisable hand gives a post or quote an informal, diary tone.

## Things to know

- **One style, thin line**: There is a single Regular cut with a light stroke, so it needs enough size or contrast with the background to stay visible.
- **Letters are not joined**: This is print-style handwriting. Nothing connects, and there are no alternate forms for repeated letters.
- **Turkish and Romanian are incomplete**: The dotless ı and the Romanian ț are not in the character set, although most other Latin Extended accents are.
