Emmeline is a natural handwritten typeface rooted in memory, correspondence, and the quiet emotion carried by personal letters.
The design was inspired by a bundle of handwritten letters from my younger sister during her college years. Seeing that handwriting again brought back an unexpected flood of memory — a reminder that letterforms can preserve a moment long after the paper has been folded away.
Emmeline keeps that feeling intact. Its tall, expressive forms, gentle inconsistencies, and casual rhythm give it warmth without losing clarity. It feels personal and handmade, but still composed enough for real design use.
OpenType ligature features automatically alternate select characters as you type, helping repeated letters feel more natural and less mechanical. This gives Emmeline a more authentic handwritten texture in words, notes, headlines, and short passages.
Use Emmeline for stationery, greeting cards, journaling projects, classroom materials, packaging, social graphics, personal branding, quotes, and designs that need sincerity over polish.
Dear Alison is a type foundry devoted to expressive typefaces with warmth, charm, and character. Inspired by handwritten letters, old journals, vintage ephemera, personal keepsakes, and the emotional texture of printed things, the collection explores fonts that feel human rather than mechanical.
The Dear Alison library includes graceful scripts, casual handwriting, romantic brush lettering, nostalgic display faces, warm serifs, and typewriter-inspired designs. Some are refined and elegant; others are loose, imperfect, or full of everyday personality. Together, they are made for designers who want type with voice, memory, and feeling.
Dear Alison fonts are well suited for stationery, greeting cards, packaging, book covers, invitations, branding, journals, labels, quotes, and social graphics. They are designed for words that should feel written, remembered, saved, or shared.
