About Kerling Script Font

Kerling Script, designed by Abbastype, features organic, flowing letterforms that authentically capture hand-drawn calligraphy while preserving strong legibility across sizes. The varied character widths and natural connecting strokes give each letter an individual quality, reading as genuine handwriting rather than a digital imitation or stiff mechanical reproduction.

This script excels for upscale wedding invitation suites and save-the-date cards, where its gestural flow adds genuine personality to formal announcements. It works equally well on luxury cosmetics packaging, artisanal craft beer labels, and handmade greeting card designs, where that personal, handcrafted aesthetic directly influences how buyers perceive a brand. With language support across 194+ Latin-based languages, it opens doors for international boutique packaging projects and multilingual travel-themed design work, making it genuinely versatile for global audiences.

The regular weight holds legibility at moderate sizes, though the script truly shines when used as a prominent display font for headlines and special applications. When you need body copy alongside it, pair Kerling Script with a quiet geometric sans-serif for visual contrast and ease of reading. The free personal-use demo is available here, with the full commercial version and extended licensing available on Creative Fabrica.
