The first glyphs of Nougat Script were born in 2010 to honor the birth of my first chubby and charming daughter, Siena.

The ongoing project with significant progress was presented at Tipos Latinos, the biennal of Latin America typography where Nougat Script was selected among 70 of the best fonts.

After a long pause, the project had a powerful restart at the begining of 2018.

In those days, it not only grew in number of signs but in complexity of behavior.

There are 4 different types of writing within the same font file accesible via opentype features: Script (base or normal), two glyphic alternatives with well differentiated swashes and finally a small cap version.

Nougat Script has a fresh and relaxed lettering attitude combined with the typographic harshness for elegant text compositions.

Lu Nolasco, also known as Lunol, is a fresh representative of a new generation of Souther American lettering artists.

She was born in Lima, Peru. After learning from some of the regions best teachers and exploring the pointed nib on her own, she became a prolific lettering workshop instructor herself.

More Miraflores is one of Limas main tourist attractions. An upscale district with a great window on the Pacific ocean, it is the place where Lu looks for inspiration.

It particularly inspired this Looking flowers (Miranda las flores), Lunols first typeface, designed in collaboration with Ale Paul.

It is a comprehensive informal script that comes with many alternates, swashes and ligatures, along with small cap and quite a few ornaments.

The fonts cover an expansive range of Latin languages, and are intended for use in stationery, menus, packaging, and general design where the main objective is to relay a sense of fun, playfulness and sensibility.

Speakeasy is a 5-font combo thematically built as a toolset for designing menus and liquor labels as well as coffees, restaurants and signs when the desire is to communicate with style.

Originally put together to be used by the most famous speakeasy in Buenos Aires, this set contains a script, a minor (almost flat) wedge serif, a flare serif, a sans serif, and a bold Didone.

The seed for the script was found in a German lettering book, and the other fonts reflect the familiar advertising and announcement styles of the early 20th century.

The Speakeasy script comes with two different ways to connect the letterforms.

Also included are many alternates, swashes, endings and flourishes all accessible via OpenType features or glyph palettes.

More Speakeasy Modern and Speakeasy Flare are small cap fonts, and come with a few alternates.

Speakeasy Sans and Speakeasy Gothic come with full sets of majuscules and minuscules, but contain small caps and a few alternates as well.

A few rules and ornaments are also sprinkled throughout the set. This combination of fonts worked wonderfully for the project that called for it. Hopefully it will work just as well for your project.
