Alex Brush

Robert Leuschke · TypeSETit · 2011 · OFL-1.1

A flowing formal script with the rhythm of a pointed brush — the letters join smoothly, the capitals sweep, and the slant is steady enough to stay readable in a full name. It is one of the more legible scripts of its kind, which is what makes it a regular on wedding stationery. Never set it in all capitals: the capitals are drawn to lead a word, not to stand in a row.

Use Alex Brush on the web

Self-hosted

You serve the file yourself. Nothing depends on this site staying up, and you get the whole character set — all Latin, Latin Extended, Türkçe, Vietnamese. The file is alex-brush.woff2, the same one the WOFF2 button above gives you.

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Alex Brush';
  /* Take the WOFF2 button above, put alex-brush.woff2 wherever
     you serve static files from, and point this at it. */
  src: url('/fonts/alex-brush.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: 'Alex Brush', cursive;
}

Hosted by us

One line, nothing to upload. Put this in your <head>:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://thatsmyfont.com">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://thatsmyfont.com/fontfiles/alex-brush.css">

Then use it in your CSS:

body {
  font-family: 'Alex Brush', cursive;
}

One thing to know: the file we host is cut down to Latin characters so pages load quickly. Alex Brush also covers Türkçe, Vietnamese, and for those you need the download and the self-hosted route.

Questions

Is Alex Brush free for commercial use?
Yes. Alex Brush is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
Can I use Alex Brush in a logo?
Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Alex Brush belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Robert Leuschke. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
How do I install Alex Brush?
Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
Does Alex Brush support Turkish?
Yes. Alex Brush includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
What languages does Alex Brush support?
Alex Brush covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Vietnamese, across 617 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
Is there a smaller, Latin-only version of Alex Brush?
Yes — the "WOFF2 · Latin only" button on this page. It is 43 KB against 51 KB for the complete file, 15% smaller, with every weight the family has still in it. It covers Latin and Latin Extended, which is everything a page in English, Turkish or a western European language sets — Türkçe included, since ı, İ, ğ and ş all live in that range. Take the complete file instead if you set Cyrillic, Greek or any alphabet outside Latin.
Where can I download Alex Brush as WOFF2?
From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is alex-brush.woff2, and it is about 51 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
