Pillowy Soft Script Fonts
We end our three-part newsletter series on packaging design with a look at the scripts so commonly seen at the supermarket and drugstore. This edition features a list of fonts that effectively emulate the hand drawn lettering that appears on dryer sheets, paper towels, and hand soap.
If they somehow slipped into your junk box or trash (for shame!) here are links to the web versions of the FontShop Newsletters featuring the fonts of package design:
- Tasty Type – Fonts on food packages
- Design Outside the Box – More packages, featuring Target® brands
- Pillowy Soft Scripts – Fonts that emulate the hand lettering of product logos
The FontFeed is a daily dispatch of recommended fonts, typography techniques, and inspirational examples of digital type at work in the real world. Eat up.

thank you for such enlightening material
just staying ‘afloat’ as well as staying ‘in tune’ requires an effort and the insightful observations as well as exposure to high quality, relevant typographic variety are of great benefit
well done, don’t stop.
