Kimberly Font: BonjourType’s Calligraphy & Alternate Characters

The original BonjourType family account describes handwritten calligraphy with a dancing baseline. It identifies the included file as Kimberly Script.otf and explains alternate access through Stylistic Alternates and Ligatures or a glyphs panel. Use BonjourType and the exact file name as product identifiers when searching for this design. This is a named family, not a promise that any text reading Kimberly has the same design.

Set the intended name with its real capitalization and punctuation. Save an unchanged version before activating alternates or ligatures in a compatible application. Compare a single alternate character at a time, checking the join on both sides and the space it needs above or below the baseline. A more decorative initial can be useful, but the ending should not collide with a date or subtitle. Choose the most readable whole phrase rather than the fanciest individual glyph.

If the recipient cannot expose the same OpenType controls, inspect the available glyphs panel or retain an editable master in the application used for composition. Keep a reference image of the approved phrase and note the chosen alternates. A flattened image preserves appearance but is not a reusable font file. Allura and Sacramento are independent script comparisons, not Kimberly previews or equivalent alternate sets. Use BonjourType’s resource to inspect the actual family and applicable terms.

For a separate social caption, the free font generator creates copyable Unicode text. It does not reproduce this typeface or supply its font files.

For a different formal script tradition, compare Linotype English Script while keeping its supplied styles separate from Kimberly’s alternate-character workflow.
