♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

In an attempt to distract myself from stress-watching CNN or eating an entire bag of cough drops (they’re candy-ish), I’m spending this Valentine’s Day on the hunt for typefaces with interesting ♥ or ♡. Here’s what I’ve found so far (with a little help from some friends):

Bickham Script by Richard Lipton: ♥ and ♡ are sort of, um, oblique.

Cera Pro by Jakob Runge: ♡ grows a thicker outline with the font weight.

Guapa by Laura Meseguer: a curly-centered ♡.

Gautreaux by Victoria Rushton: swooning over these.

Export Stencil by Jesse Ragan: flat top heart and broken heart.

Listen, I get that the need for ♥ and ♡ is greatly diminished thanks to the flashy strongholds of 😍💌💞💓💗💖💘💝💟💜💛💚💙 oh, and of course, 😻. For today at least, let’s enjoy the humble ♥, ♡ and the typefaces that honor them.

And type designers! Think about giving some love to ♥ and ♡ in your next release. Because ♥♡♥♡♥♡♥ is a lot nicer than ������� when searching for type.

Do you know of other typefaces with interesting ♥ or ♡? Comments are open!
