Pataques is a handwritten script typeface designed by -arnaud- that brings expressive, sketch-like character to creative design work. With 143 glyphs and support for 133+ Latin-based languages, this medium-weight script offers natural flow and genuine personality for projects that require authentic human touch and warmth. The informal letterforms and organic quality make it ideal for wedding invitations, greeting cards and announcements, social media graphics, and hand-lettered branding work where approachability matters more than formal structure.

The flowing nature of Pataques excels when used for packaging labels needing artisanal character, blog headers and newsletter titles seeking personal voice, or crafting and DIY projects where handwritten aesthetics resonate strongly with audiences. Its sketchy, gestural quality creates finished designs that feel genuinely handmade rather than digitally produced. The medium weight strikes a balance between readability and the typeface's inherent spontaneity, maintaining charm without sacrificing legibility across different sizes and uses. Reach for Pataques whenever you want visual communication to convey authenticity, care, and genuine human connection.
