I provide two ways to access your font tails. TTF font files usually are more compatible on any platform, so even if I provide the “OTF” version of the font, I still recommend installing the TTF font version to ensure you get all the special characters available. Double click or tap on the font file ending with the extension “.ttf.” This will install the font. You can browse “latest” to see all the files. Please remember that the zip folder will usually unzip the files to your “FILES” blue app colour on apple. I think it is the same on android devices, but I can’t tell since I never tried. I say it is annoying because having all the files grouped within a folder makes it easier to manage it, but since the apple device will release the files, you can’t be sure which file is related to the font folder. So far, it doesn’t create a new folder, but once you tap on the zip folder, it will release all the files. On mobile, it is a little bit different and annoying for a beginner, if you will.

Like the Olivia font, some people often ask me where the Uppercase tail is.

That is my opinion, but I am always open to new ideas, so I did create a few fonts with capital letters with the tail, but that is not my preferred choice. While some people would not see any difference between the lowercase and uppercase swatches, I really do, and I strongly think a design or logo looks much better with lower case. In my case, I made tons of custom fonts and graphic design for small to big companies, and after years, I noticed long-tail letters look much better on lowercase letters. As a designer, we decide what’s best for the final look. But we don’t always create fonts with tails on the uppercase letters. Jump to the final step: How to add tails to fontsįonts with swashes (Some call it flourishes fonts or long-tail letters like I do) are created by font designers like me.
