What You Can Type With Makeup

Makeup covers the full alphabet in upper and lowercase, plus all ten numbers, so you can set names, dates and prices without switching fonts. Punctuation is limited, so look at the character map if you need a specific symbol. It also has the accented letters you need for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian.

Ligatures and Smart Letters in Makeup

Ligatures and contextual alternates switch on by themselves: some letter pairs join into one shape and letters change to fit their neighbours, so repeated letters don't look copy-pasted. This works automatically in most design apps and modern browsers.

Where Makeup Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like Makeup when they're making 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.
