Corinthia is a formal calligraphic script designed by Rob Leuschke, available on Google Fonts. Its flowing, connected letterforms evoke traditional copperplate calligraphy with a refined and graceful character.

Design & Character

Corinthia captures the elegance of pointed-pen calligraphy with sweeping ascenders, delicate hairline strokes, and generous flourishes. The two available weights (Regular and Bold) provide flexibility for hierarchy while maintaining the script's formal character. Unlike many free script fonts, Corinthia achieves genuine calligraphic sophistication.

Best Use Cases

  • Wedding invitations and formal stationery
  • Luxury brand wordmarks and packaging
  • Restaurant menus and hospitality design
  • Fashion editorial headlines
  • Greeting cards and personal correspondence

Usage Tips

Use Corinthia exclusively at display sizes (28px+) — its fine hairline strokes disappear at small sizes. Avoid using it for body text or extended passages. The Bold weight works well for short headlines where the Regular feels too delicate. Pair with a clean serif like EB Garamond or a refined sans-serif for supporting text.
