Ollie is a brush script font style released by Schizotype Fonts.

Meet Ollie, a casual signage script whose friendly, bouncy outside belies a heart of advanced OpenType shows. This typeface is designed to maximize OpenType smart applications, and as such is suggested for professional style use. Or to put it another way: Ensure that contextual alternates and ligatures are always turned on!
Ollie consists of about 900 glyphs, much of which are automagical alternatives to keep the text streaming smoothly, and to pseudo-randomly pick different glyphs to avoid repeating. With contextual alternates turned on (as they should be by default), a lot of lowercase letters will alternate in between a minimum of 2 various kinds. The powerful OpenType programs makes the font style itself ‘‘ look back '( approximately eight characters) on formerly utilized letters; typing "banana" will offer you three various a's and two various n's (the last a is a special ‘‘ end kind' character).
The calt feature manages many other ‘‘ special effects 'which all add together to provide a smooth-flowing, hand-lettered look. These effects include start and end forms (and certainly, ‘‘ loner 'forms )of numerous letters, which are automatically replaced in at beginnings or ends of words, or when the previous or next letter does not link. Another unique feature tests to see if there is room for the crossbar of t (or tt ligature) to extend even more over the previous or next letter, or both, as is typically the case. The last primary effect of the calt feature is to substitute specific letters typed prior to any ‘‘ e' character, to make for a more natural connection (see the pe mix in ‘‘ Schizotype' in the first poster).
Ligatures should be on by default, for a much better looking tt mix, and a few others besides.
The swash feature must be used moderately (one glyph at a time, truly) to apply a more elegant appearance to g, j and y in the lower case, and quite a few of the upper case too.
Oldstyle figures are consisted of, in addition to the lining defaults.
Now to explore the stylistic alternates… … These are all consisted of in the salt feature, or for uses of applications that support them, separated into stylistic sets hence:
ss01 - (with swash feature on) L and G swashes get even swashier.
ss02 - standard s modifications to a connected script s form.
ss03 - r takes on a script form.
ss04 - z also gets a scriptier look.
[the previous three sets also alter any variations of s, r or z with diacritics]
ss05 - a helpful underline function. When made it possible for, typing two or more underscores will extend a cool highlight under the previous letters. More highlights = longer underline.
ss06 - the Polish script lslash changes to its more standard form.
ss07 - E, S and B change to a more top-heavy alternate form.
ss08 - An alternate form for A characters.
ss09 - Alterative rounder types of M and N.
ss10 - An alternate ampersand.

.

That about concludes the functions. Now all that's left is for you to license the typeface and get experimenting!
