Gilly handmade script font with alternates

Gilly script is handmade cursive typeface. I got the inspiration for the font from hand-painted American signage and posters. I intended to create a natural but casual looking script font.

Its fun, casual and has large bold lines that have a somewhat retro look and feel. It also comes in three weights regular, medium and bold.

Handwritten Script font

With its handwritten style, Gilly would be great for stationery, wedding invitations and cards, branding, packaging, logos, titles and slogans or anything where you want that handwritten cursive look and feel.

I like to compare fonts to celebrities; If Gilly Script were a celebrity, it would be more Kristen Wiig than Keira Knightley—think Bridesmaids and wedding showers!

Contextual Alternatives

Gilly script comes with charming alternates, ligatures, and a few initial and terminal forms.

Using the power of contextual alternatives in your design application you can quickly change each character. With contextual OpenType feature turned on, watch the letters change as you type.

Please note: You can't see the alternatives in action the preview window below. See for my very quick demo.

About Simon Stratford

Hello, that's me or itsmesimon, aka Simon Stratford. I design everything from custom typefaces for advertising agencies to ready to buy fonts for designers (like you) to the occasional digital oil painting for TV and print.

I've spent over 20 years in the design industry, from teaching photoshop, web design, movie promotion, and branding agencies to digital marketing—I think I've done most jobs. I got tired of the rat race and the daily commute in London. So I stopped doing things I didn't what to do—and started doing things I did want to do—more creative things.
