Wedded Fonts: Biscotti
If you’re like me, one of the best reasons to DIY your invitations is because you’re obsessive about fonts, and have a veritable cornucopia of beautiful fonts you’ve just been waiting for the right occasion to use – like your wedding invitations.
Biscotti is one of those fonts – and if you’re wondering why it looks so absolutely perfect for a wedding:
…that is because it was designed for a different kind of client. Brides magazine wanted “a typeface that makes the reader feel pretty; it should capture the voice of this happy occasion”. Highsmith developed a simple and clean descendant of the flourished engraved scripts that are traditionally deemed suitable for wedding invitations and the like. Biscotti is a contemporary typeface that captures the smiling spirit of these classical forms.
Biscotti is available to buy online, and at $40 for each weight – regular and bold – it’s positively cheap as paid fonts go. When you consider that with a well planned wedding, you’ll use it for invitations, orders of service, table cards, menus and even your thank you notes, that’s a lot of mileage out of $80 – and so pretty!
