Description

Sanzio is a brush lettering script with raw movement, textured edges, and expressive pressure. It is not overly polished or precious; it embraces the irregularities that make hand-painted lettering feel alive.
The strokes are fast, bold, and emotional, with a dry-brush texture that adds energy without losing readability. Sanzio can feel romantic, dramatic, urgent, or rebellious depending on how it is used, making it especially useful for expressive display typography.
Use Sanzio for bold headlines, packaging, posters, apparel graphics, social media, book covers, romantic quotes, branding, and layouts that need a strong hand-lettered presence. It works best where the lettering is allowed to be seen and felt — large, confident, and full of motion.
Sanzio brings the immediacy of painted words to digital type: human, imperfect, and hard to ignore.

Type Designer

Dear Alison

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.
