What an amazingly talented guy. You are probably very familiar with Alejandro Paul’s work, though you may not have been familiar with his name (designers are so bad about knowing about type designers!)—he’s the Argentinian lettermaker behind the type foundry Sudtipos, which churns out all those fancy scripts you’ve been using on your wedding invites and foodstuffs for years. Ale makes fonts that designers love. They’ve got a lot of personality, are well crafted, and include all sorts of extra characters, ligatures, and swashes that make designing with them super fun. I cannot believe how prolific this man is. I don’t hesitate to direct people to his fonts (here’s a link to both veer and myfonts) when they approach me for lettering but have no budget or no time, his work is pretty much the next best thing to custom lettering.
