MAS AMOR POR FAVOR (1) (more love, please)

Fluire means -to flow- in italian and that’s all what this font is about. The story of it began when a friend of mine asked for a tattoo with the word -Fluir- (to flow in spanish). She didn't want a tattoo full of swashes and swirls, like I'm used to do, but something more fluent, soft and minimal. My very first attemps were more related to copperplate calligraphy but I wasn't even close: I discovered that I needed to forget a little bit about the classic contrast and speed of the engrossers' nib and started playing with a tiny flat metal nib. Letters started to flow, and I inmediately thought of turning them into a font. Inspired in the tattoo I created and also in others tattoos I saw, I started the journey of what would be a very fun process. The result is a very cute almost-monoline font which has a a wide range of uses.

USES If not used for a tattoo (which was actually my first ‘target’) the font has amazing results in combination with Fluire Caps: These two need each other, they go together, they talk. I designed Fluire Caps Down and Fluire Caps Up so it’s easier to manage their colors. Also there’s Fluire Caps Down Lines, which has a dacorative thin line in it. Use the fonts in magazines, book covers, posters, greeting cards, weddings, lettered walls, storefronts!

TIPS Since the font is Open-Type programmed, I strongly recommend using it in applications that support that feature. Also, the font looks way better when -contextual alternates- are activated, but it’s your choice :)

Try Fluire, and keep flowing.

NOTES (1) The phrase alludes to maybe the most tattooed phrase in Latin America.
