This typeface brings back the warmth of retro hand lettering with a contemporary edge that still feels current and lively. Jodie Garland, designed by Lettersams, marries vintage character with fluid handwritten movement that feels both nostalgic and inviting. The script comes loaded with OpenType features: stylistic alternates, swashes, and ligatures give you plenty of room to customize each letter and find your perfect rhythm for different projects and moods.

Use it for vintage wedding invitations, indie beauty product labels, retro brand identities, and nostalgic greeting card designs. The handwritten energy also works beautifully on craft fair signage and merchandise tags. The three included files (Regular, Extrude, and Swash versions) let you layer effects and explore different visual possibilities. All three come in both OTF and TTF formats, so you can use them across your entire design toolkit. The font uses PUA Unicode encoding, which means you can access every alternate character directly from your text editor without needing special design software.

I'd pair Jodie Garland with a clean, minimal sans-serif when you need body copy, keeping the handwritten charm front and center for headlines and display work. Get it from Creative Fabrica and start mixing those swashes into your next project.
