Calligraphy Font with Swashes | angiemakes.com

I recently released a new, messy calligraphy font called Hollyhock. I also wanted to give it some edginess and some fun little swashes so I included the free swashes font to go with it as well.

Here are just a few of the pretty extra swashes, swirls, lines. ink spots, arrows, and doodles included! In fact, the swashes and doodles are FREE! You can get them here. I know, pretty awesome! Maybe you can use them in your next design project.

  1. I just wanted to say: THANK YOU!!! (passes out from sheer happiness) Haha. I was looking longingly at the pricey Cezanne Swashes until I found your site. You and your site are a Godsend! ^_^

  2. Sooo love this font, thank you. I was wondering how to find the difference between the tame and wild capital letters?
