Elevate your creative projects with Montpellier Script – a vibrant, lighthearted calligraphy font designed to mimic the graceful, organic rhythm of true hand-written script. This isn’t just a typeface; it’s a joyful expression on the page. With every curve, flourish, and delicate stroke, Montpellier Script radiates a unique blend of posh charm and playful whimsy. Whether you’re crafting a whimsical wedding invitation, designing a vibrant poster, or building a brand with character, this font injects instant personality and visual delight into every word.
Effortless Natural Flow with a Touch of Drama
Montpellier Script was meticulously crafted from authentic handwriting, capturing the subtle imperfections and organic flow that make handwritten text so captivating. The result? A script that feels alive, not artificial. The natural variation in stroke weight and the soft, connected joins between letters create a relaxed, hand-crafted aesthetic that stands out in a sea of rigid digital fonts. But the true magic lies in its exquisite set of flourished alternates at the beginning and end of words. Choose from ornate caps and elegant tails to add drama to logos or signature lines, or select simpler forms for a more understated, refined look. These alternates aren’t just decorative—they’re essential tools for creating dynamic, visually interesting text that feels intentional and personal.
Rich Opentype Features for Dynamic Design Control
Maximize the expressive power of Montpellier Script with a robust suite of OpenType features. Dive deep into customization and bring your vision to life:
- Extensive Letter Alternates: Avoid repetition and add surprise to your designs. Each letter offers multiple variations, ensuring your text never looks monotonous or mechanical.
- Comprehensive Ligatures: Combine letters seamlessly to create flowing, natural connections. Special ligatures are specifically designed to merge letters in a way that mimics real hand movement, enhancing readability and elegance.
- Stylistic Sets & Contextual Alternates: Access curated groups of glyphs designed for specific visual effects, like dramatic flourishes, tighter spacing, or a more modern, compact look.
Pro Tip: If you’re using a software that doesn’t fully support OpenType features natively (like older versions of Word or basic design apps), you can still access the alternates! Simply copy the desired character from the font’s character map – use Font Book on Mac or Character Map on Windows – and paste it directly into your project. This ensures anyone can enjoy Montpellier Script’s full charm, no matter their tools.
Perfect for Playful Projects That Demand Character
Montpellier Script is engineered for projects that thrive on personality and emotion. Its unique vibe makes it ideal for:
- Greeting & Wedding Cards: Create invitations and thank-you notes that feel personal, warm, and unforgettable. The playful flourishes are perfect for celebrating love with a touch of whimsy.
- Whimsical Prints & Posters: Design eye-catching artwork, party flyers, or art prints for cafes, boutiques, or home décor, where a touch of fancy is exactly what the audience craves.

Bring It to Life: Free Waterproof Effects Included!
Many of the preview images showcase a beautiful watercolor effect on the text. This isn’t a feature of the font itself, but a free Photoshop style file included with your download! Apply this style to your text layer to instantly achieve the soft, painterly look seen in the examples. It’s a fantastic way to add dimension and atmosphere to your designs.
Don’t have Photoshop? No problem! You can recreate the effect by using a black watercolor texture as a mask in tools like Canva’s FontFrame App or similar apps. Simply place the texture under your text layer and set the blending mode to ‘Multiply’ or ‘Color Burn’ for a similar, authentic result. This makes the watercolor look accessible to creatives using a wide range of design platforms.
Seamless Integration for Any Workflow
Montpellier Script is available in multiple formats to fit any project:
- .OTF (OpenType Font): Ideal for professional design software like Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop.
- .TTF (TrueType Font): Offers universal compatibility across operating systems and applications.
- .WOFF / WOFF2: Optimized for fast, seamless integration on websites and web applications.
Install once, use everywhere. Your creative journey with Montpellier Script is smooth, reliable, and full of potential.
Design Tip: Pair for Perfection
To let Montpellier Script shine, pair it with clean, neutral typefaces. Try a minimalist sans-serif like Montserrat or Raleway for body text, or a classic serif like Merriweather for a timeless, balanced composition. The contrast will make the script font leap off the page with maximum impact.
Embrace the fun. Embrace the flair. With Montpellier Script, your designs will always carry a hint of playful elegance and a whole lot of character.
