What You Can Type With Beau Rivage

You get every letter from A to Z in both cases and all the numbers from 0 to 9, which means Beau Rivage can handle full sentences, dates and prices. Common punctuation such as &, !, ? and @ is included as well. It also has the accented letters you need for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian. Of its 1,051 glyphs, about 467 are not on your keyboard at all. That is where the alternates explained below live.

How to Use the Alternate Letters in Beau Rivage

Beau Rivage has stylistic alternates and a stylistic set built in as OpenType features. In Illustrator and InDesign, open the Glyphs panel (Window > Type) and select a letter to see its alternates. In Photoshop, use Window > Glyphs. Figma shows them under the text settings as OpenType features. Microsoft Word can switch on stylistic sets in the Font dialog under Advanced. Canva and Cricut Design Space can't reach OpenType alternates, so for those, set the word in a desktop app first and import it as an SVG. Its ligatures switch on by themselves in most design apps: certain letter pairs join into one specially drawn shape.

Where Beau Rivage Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like Beau Rivage when they're making everyday text, websites and clean logos. Its lowercase letters are small compared to the capitals, so set it a size or two bigger than usual. Fonts like this are workhorses: use them for body text, captions and anything people need to read quickly.
