What You Can Type With Old Bookshop

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Old Bookshop is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Common punctuation such as &, !, ? and @ is included as well. It doesn't include accented letters such as é or ñ, which makes it an English-only font.

Where Old Bookshop Works Best

Think of Old Bookshop for wedding invitations, logos and signature-style headings. The file has no kerning data, so in logos and big titles check pairs like AV, To and Wa and tighten the spacing by hand. 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.
