Amazingly real looking handwritten messages done with LiebeHeide bitmap color font

LiebeHeide, designed by Ulrike Rausch, is based on high-res digitized ballpoint pen letterings, combined with OpenType features such as ligatures and alternate letters. Typical handwriting attributes like symbols and doodles, up to underlines (single and double) and lots of strikethroughs give this typeface its charm. Most symbols are easily accessible because they assemble automatically, for example the heart from ﹤3, a smiley face from :-) or arrows from -﹥ and --﹥. In total LiebeHeide contains almost 500 glyphs.

The font works in professional design programs, e. g. in Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps (not Creative Suits) and all native Mac OS apps like Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. The color of words set in LiebeHeide cannot be changed in text editors, but with Photoshop filters.

Ingenious: to increase performance, the font has 3 different resolutions, so that applications only load the size that is currently needed.

Typical areas of application for LiebeHeide are packaging and editorial design, as well as personalized mailings and the entire spectrum of below-the-line marketing: ambient media, direct marketing, lotteries, flyers, as well as event and guerilla marketing.
