( more love, please)
Fluire means -to stream- in Italian which's what this font is all about.
The story started when a pal of mine requested for a tattoo with the word -Fluir- (to stream in Spanish). She didn't want a tattoo filled with swashes and swirls, like I'm used to doing, but something more fluent, soft and minimal. My really first efforts were more related to copperplate calligraphy however I wasn't even close: I found that I required to forget a bit about the traditional contrast and speed of the engrosser's nib and began playing with a small flat metal nib. Letters started to flow, and I right away thought about turning them into a font.
Inspired by the tattoo I developed and by other tattoos I saw, I began the journey of what would be a very enjoyable process. The outcome is a very cute, nearly monoline font with a vast array of uses.
USES
If not used for a tattoo (my first 'target'), the font style delivers fantastic outcomes in mix with Fluire Caps: These 2 need each other, they go together, they talk.
I created Fluire Caps Down and Fluire Caps Up so it's much easier to manage their colors. Also there's Fluire Caps Down Lines, which has a decorative thin line to include yet another dimension.
Use the typefaces in publications, book covers, posters, greeting cards, weddings, lettered walls, storefronts!
TIPS
Since the font is Open-Type set, I strongly recommend using it in applications that support that function. Also, the font looks way much better when -contextual alternates- are triggered, but it's your choice:)
Try Fluire, and keep flowing.
NOTES
( 1) The phrase mentions perhaps the most tattooed expression in Latin America.
