What You Can Type With Charles elegant

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Charles elegant is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. Thanks to its accented letters, it also works for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian, not just English. Of its 263 glyphs, about 32 are not on your keyboard at all. That is where the alternates explained below live.

How to Use the Alternate Letters in Charles elegant

Charles elegant 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. Its colors live inside the font file. Photoshop, Illustrator and web browsers show them; many other apps show the letters in one plain color instead.
