Some of the best lettering does not begin at a desk. It begins in a sketchbook.
Gonte was inspired by handwritten notes captured while traveling abroad: quick impressions, quiet observations, and small moments gathered along the way. Rediscovered years later in an old journal, those loose pen strokes became the foundation for this fanciful, free-flowing script.
Gonte feels warm, expressive, and slightly weathered, like ink moving across textured paper. Its looping strokes and uneven rhythm give it a personal, literary quality suited to travel stories, journals, invitations, packaging, keepsakes, romantic messages, and designs with a sense of memory or discovery.
The font includes double-letter ligatures for smoother rhythm, contextual swashes that can gracefully begin and finish words, and stylistic alternates for lowercase v and w to preserve its carefree hand-penned character.
Gonte carries the romance of wandering — part journal, part letter, part remembered place.
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.
