Licorice

Licorice is a handwriting font with a single regular style. Its informal character can bring a personal, handmade feel to short text and display work, while the available metadata leaves its detailed shapes and spacing unspecified. Use it when you want a design to feel more conversational than formal, especially at sizes where its handwritten quality remains easy to read.

Best suited for: Licorice may fit invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, labels, short headings, personal notes, and small branding accents. It can also add a human touch to packaging or editorial callouts when used in limited amounts. For longer passages or information-heavy layouts, pair it with a more conventional text face rather than relying on it for continuous reading.

Design considerations: With one weight, 400, and one normal style, Licorice offers a focused rather than broad typographic range. Keep hierarchy simple, using size, spacing, and placement to separate roles instead of depending on bold or italic variants. Test important text at its intended size, and allow enough surrounding space for the handwritten treatment to remain clear.

Pairing guidance: Balance Licorice with a neutral sans serif for clean supporting text, captions, or practical information. A restrained serif can also provide a more editorial counterpoint while preserving the contrast between personal display text and readable content. Keep the companion face relatively calm, and limit the handwritten style to selected words or short phrases.
