What You Can Type With Gistesy

Ligatures and Smart Letters in Gistesy
Its ligatures switch on by themselves in most design apps: certain letter pairs join into one specially drawn shape.
Where Gistesy Works Best
Gistesy is a natural fit for greeting cards, journal pages and friendly social posts. Its lowercase letters are small compared to the capitals, so set it a size or two bigger than usual. Set it a bit larger than you would a normal text font. Handwriting styles lose their charm once they get too small to read comfortably.
