Great Vibes is an elegant, flowing script typeface designed by Robert Leuschke of TypeSETit. Released in 2012, it captures the beauty of formal calligraphy with graceful connecting strokes and sophisticated letterforms.

History and Design

Robert Leuschke, known for his extensive collection of script fonts, designed Great Vibes to provide an accessible formal script option. The typeface draws inspiration from copperplate calligraphy and elegant handwriting traditions, featuring flowing connections, dramatic swashes, and refined letterforms that create a sense of luxury and celebration.

Why Great Vibes is Popular

Great Vibes has become one of the most popular script fonts on Google Fonts, serving as a free alternative to premium formal scripts used in wedding invitations, luxury branding, and special occasions. Its elegant appearance and good readability for a script make it versatile for designers working on romantic and celebratory projects.

Technical Features

  • Single weight: Optimized Regular weight
  • Flowing connections: Seamless letter joins
  • Dramatic swashes: Elegant capitals with decorative strokes
  • Extended Latin: Support for European languages
  • OpenType features: Contextual alternates for varied letterforms

Best Use Cases

Great Vibes excels in:

  • Wedding stationery: Invitations, save-the-dates, place cards
  • Luxury branding: High-end product logos and packaging
  • Event invitations: Formal parties and celebrations
  • Greeting cards: Holidays and special occasions
  • Certificates: Awards and formal recognition

Usage Tips

Use Great Vibes sparingly at large sizes (24px+) for maximum impact. Limit to headlines, names, and short accent text rather than paragraphs. The single weight means hierarchy comes from size and pairing with other fonts. Pairs beautifully with elegant serifs like Playfair Display or Cormorant for a cohesive formal aesthetic. Enable OpenType features for varied letterforms.
