Imagine designing a Valentine's Day card, a wedding invitation suite, or boutique skincare packaging that needs more personality than standard type. Hearts Love Smile, created by Manuel Viergutz at Typo Graphic Design, is a dingbat collection built from scans of hand-printed wood letters, rubber stamps, and plastic stamps that were then digitized into clean vectors. The result is 302 glyphs packed with decorative icons, arrows, emojis, and symbols ready to layer into your work.

What makes it genuinely useful is the ligature feature. Type LOVE and it renders as a heart; type SMILE and you get a smiling face. These OpenType features work in most design software and let you swap in decorative marks without hunting through a character map. The typeface performs well on social media graphics, greeting card designs, custom label printing, and DIY craft projects where you want visual interest without feeling generic or over-worked.

Since it's built for display sizes, Hearts Love Smile reads bold and punchy at large scales, bringing energy to headlines, poster text, and label treatments. The rough quality of the original hand-stamped source material comes through even in the vector version, adding warmth to work that might otherwise feel clinical or flat. A demo version is available free to test drive; the full 302-glyph set lives on Creative Fabrica.
