About Playwrite GB S

Playwrite GB S is a handwriting typeface designed by TypeTogether, Veronika Burian, José Scaglione, published as an open-source font in 2024. It carries a natural handwritten texture and a hand-made, childlike warmth, which shapes where it works best. The family ships 8 styles and is available as a variable font, so any weight in between is available too.

Because Playwrite GB S is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, you can use it in commercial work without buying anything or crediting anyone in the design itself.
