What You Can Type With Tangerine

You get every letter from A to Z in both cases and all the numbers from 0 to 9, which means Tangerine can handle full sentences, dates and prices. Common punctuation such as &, !, ? and @ is included as well. It also has the accented letters you need for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian.

Where Tangerine Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like Tangerine when they're making wedding invitations, certificates and elegant quotes. Its lowercase letters are small compared to the capitals, so set it a size or two bigger than usual. 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.
