What You Can Type With Throwup

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Throwup 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 418 glyphs, about 70 are not on your keyboard at all. That is where the alternates explained below live.

How to Use the Alternate Letters in Throwup

Throwup has stylistic alternates, a stylistic set and optional ligatures 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. Microsoft Word can switch on stylistic sets in the Font dialog under Advanced. 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.

Where Throwup Works Best

Throwup is a natural fit for kids' books, birthday invites and fun YouTube thumbnails. Its lowercase letters are tall compared to the capitals, which keeps it readable at smaller sizes. Cartoon fonts are great for short, fun lines. If you place it over a busy photo, add a thick outline or a drop shadow so it stays readable. Because the family has more than one style, you can mix them in a single design for headings, subheadings and highlights.
