Where PL Benguiat Frisky Works Best

PL Benguiat Frisky is a natural fit 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. Because the family has more than one style, you can mix them in a single design for headings, subheadings and highlights.
