About Meritocracy Font Family
Introducing Meritocracy, a full-featured handwritten font with tons of alternate characters and OpenType features. My goal with this font was to make you a typeface that will look as much like hand lettering as possible. Using the built-in OpenType pseudo-random contextual alternates and over 300 individually drawn ligatures, you can infuse your typography with personality and variety.** OpenType Features Meritocracy comes with more than 900 glyphs! Specific OpenType features include contextual alternates, stylistic alternates, a second stylistic set for variety, multiple alternate glyphs for many letters (accessed through the glyphs panel), multilingual support (including multiple currency symbols), standard numbers, and seven ampersand styles. It also includes 325+ standard and discretionary ligatures, all of them individually hand-drawn to be different from all other glyphs in the font. These ligatures allow you to give a super-realistic hand-lettered look to your typography. You can write the same word in so many different ways if you combine the default set, stylistic set 01, and standard and discretionary ligatures in different ways. SPECIAL OPENTYPE FEATURE: If you are using OpenType-capable software like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, or CorelDraw and you have contextual alternates turned on, you can see the letters randomize themselves as you type, mixing from the default character set and stylistic set 01. (You can always turn on contextual alternates after you have already typed your passage and it will randomize all at once, or you can choose to turn off contextual alternates and substitute specific glyphs yourself - I find that if I'm typing a word or two, I prefer to control the individual glyphs myself; if I'm typing a paragraph, I like to use the built-in randomness of the contextual alternates feature). Note that this pseudo-randomization (aka contextual alternate feature) is ON by default in Apple's Pages app and OFF by default in Microsoft Word, but it can be turned on. The OpenType features can be very easily accessed by using OpenType-savvy programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. (To access most of these awesome features in Microsoft Word, you'll need to get comfortable with the advanced tab of Word's font menu. If you have questions about this, ask me!) Files included: Meritocracy-Regular.otf Please note: there is only one file for this font. That's the magic of OpenType - all of the alternates, ligatures, etc. are built right into the .otf file!

About Up Up Creative
Hello! I'm Julie Green. I letter, draw, code, and design fonts (and other things) under the studio name Up Up Creative. If anyone (including me) had known that a font designer was something you could be, like, for a job, then surely we'd all have predicted this. As it was, my only real nickname growing up was Julie Twelve (as in Times 12, the font we all had to use on our papers in high school) since people said my handwriting should be a font in Word).As a designer, I got my start in college, where I studied visual communication from a social science perspective and started creating really stellar early-web websites. Nothing I made back then ever blinked or anything, but let's just say there was a lot of joy when I first discovered roll-over images.For a short time, I worked as an IT consultant and learned to program in Java, C++, and other languages. Then for a long time I went to graduate school in English, getting about halfway through my dissertation before I realized that academia was not the long-term place for me. That's when I finally put my right brain and left brain passions together, took ALLLLLLL that stuff I had learned about visual communication and rhetoric and communication and planning and pathfinding, and became a freelance graphic designer and entrepreneur. I started Up Up Creative in 2008 and have never looked back.Perhaps the coolest way I combine my creative and analytical sides is through font design. I released my first font, Bundt Cake, in 2015, and since then I've only fallen more and more in love with the process of creating useful, beautiful typefaces with robust OpenType features.My graphic design work has been featured in Martha Stewart Living, BRIDES Magazine, Apartment Therapy, Design Milk, Decor8, and elsewhere.
