Boutiera by Mika Melvas is a bouncy script with soft, rounded letterforms and that slightly imperfect feel that reads as genuinely handmade. The baseline has an easy, upbeat quality, and the stems pick up a subtle texture that keeps the whole thing from feeling too polished or stiff. This is a script that feels friendly without any strain.

The type system gives you three weights to work with, so you can play with hierarchy and contrast across whatever you're building. Two uppercase sets come with it: one with gentle flourishes, another more straightforward option that works when you need all-caps text. The OpenType support includes positional alternates that activate contextually: initial forms for letters like r, s, x, and z, plus final forms for the lowercase letters that taper the upstrokes for a more balanced appearance. Alternate versions of t and s are also included if you want to swap things around.

This one shines on wedding invitation suites, small-batch cosmetics labels, artisan bakery menus, and hand-lettered gift tags. The personality reads warm without losing legibility, and the bouncy rhythm works equally well at small sizes and on signage. Grab Boutiera from Creative Fabrica and see what you can make.
