Coquette Font

Mark Simonson first released Coquette in 2001, following a lettering idea developed during a logo project. It combines French-script influences and geometric sans-serif ideas without reproducing a single historical alphabet. Three initial styles were expanded with three additional weights in 2017.

Read the publisher’s family page for the source account and the edition currently offered. Keep a family name distinct from its particular release, width or optical branch.

Coquette is an unconnected script: the script character does not depend on every letter joining its neighbour. Thin, Light, Regular, Bold, ExtraBold and Black provide distinct tones. The later expansion also introduced alternate characters and additional OpenType features.

Use the original publisher specimen to inspect those features. An alternative can share a broad role without having the same letter shapes, metrics or character coverage.

Set a shop heading and a compact product label. Compare repeated lowercase letters and available alternate forms before adjusting tracking. Avoid treating it as a connected handwriting font whose joins can be repaired simply by closing the spaces.

For independent comparisons, try Oleo Script and Lobster. Use the same wording and approximate output size. The related style guide provides broader design context.

Use Mark Simonson Studio to try the original and investigate the files, styles and terms for your intended workflow. This site does not distribute or serve Coquette font software.

The editable alternatives here have their own source profiles and included licenses. For the difference between a font file and copied characters, read Unicode text versus fonts.
