More about this family

About Fave Font Family


The hand-brushed Fave™ Set has ten informal scripts and other handwritten fonts made up of two subfamilies: Fave and the even-more informal Fave Casual, each have a primary script with a bold version and three other handwritten faces for a total of ten typefaces spanning the casual spectrum. All are optimized for large type use too so they look as good up close as they do set at smaller sizes.


OpenType features

The Fave family has a few features that happen largely in the background. All of the fonts use the OpenType Standard Ligature feature to automatically differentiate consecutive lowercase letters and numbers (using separate glyphs) and like our previous release Turbinado, they also automatically differentiate like characters that are separated by another letter.


Alternate characters

The script fonts have alternate uppercase and lowercase characters including multiple t (and double t) crossbar alternates that can be selected from the OpenType glyph table. Enable Contextual Alternates feature to automatically insert a bigger crossbar as the surrounding letters allow throughout a text box or document. You can also make your own custom lowercase t and crossbar to fit any situation–all of the lowercase t ascenders and crossbars are available separately in the OpenType glyph table, and can be combined and moved around manually.


Stylistic sets and other goodies

Fave Script and its bold counterpart have two Stylistic Sets. When enabled, one automatically substitutes non-connecting alternate characters at the ends of words, the other substitutes even bigger t crossbars than the Standard Ligature feature does.


Smart apostrophes and ligatures

Other subtle but hopefully helpful features include smart apostrophes, which insert themselves between two script characters in common situations without breaking their connection, and a few ligatures that also make character connections more seamless.

About Aerotype

Aerotype was founded in 1995 to house a small collection of fonts created by Stephen Miggas. Today Aerotype is home to a still small, but diverse library of unique display type. We are largely known for hand lettered scripts like Zooja and Keepsake, and wood type digitalizations like Thunderhouse and Applewood, complete with original patina. All of our fonts are crafted with designers and art directors in mind and we like to think our love for type comes through in our work. Our aim is to develop display fonts that provide a voice to tell your story that is unique and helps communicate your vision, even before any words are read.
