Liesel was designed by Jessica McCarty and published by Magpie Paper Works. Liesel contains 6 styles and family package options.
What happens when historical calligraphy and modern lettering kiss? Liesel!
This six-font, hand-lettered family is loosely based on traditional letterforms. Used alone, Liesel Regular reflects a warm, antique aesthetic. But when you pair her with Brush, Pencil, and Shadow – all of which were designed for layering – a modern, artistic look emerges! Experiment with textures, overlays and blending modes to create realistic water colored text. Both Liesel Printed & Liesel Shadow Printed are highly detailed, distressed versions of their solid counterparts, and can be layered to recreate an authentic letterpress or screen printed effect.
Opentype features programmed into each text font include contextual alternates, stylistic alternates, swashes, true fractions, and old style numerals.
Each Liesel font features PUA coding so all characters, including swashes and alternates, can be accessed with Character Viewer (Mac), Character Map (PC) or PopChar.
For more information, including a complete PUA code listing, please review our user guide.
We recommend pairing Liesel with Quimbly.
Please note: because its outlines are complex & highly detailed, Liesel Printed and Liesel Printed Shadow may process slowly in some applications.
