What You Can Type With Lakesight

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Lakesight 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 397 glyphs, about 39 are not on your keyboard at all. That is where the alternates explained below live.

How to Use the Alternate Letters in Lakesight

Lakesight has stylistic alternates 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. 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 Lakesight Works Best

Lakesight is a natural fit for wedding invitations, certificates and elegant quotes. Script fonts read best in short bursts, so keep it to names, titles and one-line quotes. Skip all caps: script capitals are drawn to start a word, not to fill one.
