Origins in Legend: From 1975 to a Digital Renaissance
Born in the vibrant graphic culture of the 1970s, Al Elliot’s original Birds of Paradise captured the era’s love for dramatic, hand-crafted lettering. Now, Scripthouse has brought it back to life with modern technical excellence — conserving its soul while expanding its reach. The revival includes enhanced spacing, refined metrics, and new OpenType features, ensuring the font performs flawlessly across platforms, software, and applications. This is vintage inspiration, upgraded for the 21st century.
A Font with Personality: Dramatic, Confident, Uniquely Expressive
Birds of Paradise doesn’t just announce itself — it arrives with a flourish. Its bold, exaggerated serifs, dynamic swashes, and sweeping curves give each character a sense of motion and intent. The design balances boldness with elegance, making it ideal for projects that demand authority and soul. Use it to:
- Design standout brand logos with immediate visual impact

Engineered for Creativity: Advanced Features, Effortless Results
Birds of Paradise is more than style — it’s a toolkit for designers. With full OpenType support, it delivers professional-grade control over your typography.
Ligatures & Stylistic Alternates: Effortless Flow
Enable ligatures in your design software (Illustrator, InDesign, Figma) to unlock seamless, artistically connected letterforms. Over 50 hand-designed ligatures produce fluid, natural transitions between letters — like ‘B’ and ‘y’ forming a single, graceful arc. Stylistic alternates (Ss01, Ss02, Ss03) give you creative variety: choose from sharp contrasts, balanced forms, or more ornate versions to suit your project’s mood.
