Lazy Dog is a script and calligraphy font designed and published by Paul Neave. It was released on February 3, 2018. This page covers both Canva and desktop use.
About the Lazy Dog font
Lazy Dog is filed under the Script and Calligraphy categories on this site. It was designed for the Latin alphabet and includes accents and diacritics. The character set has ligatures, which you can reach through the OpenType features in apps that support them, such as Adobe Illustrator or InDesign.
The font is available in TTF and OTF formats. Designers use scripts like this one for covers, shop names, logos, product packaging and quote graphics. A script font works best with short lines, so keep longer body text in a plainer font.
Before you use Lazy Dog in a design, type a full line of your own text and look at how the letters join. Script fonts can look very different from one line to the next, so test the exact words and the size you plan to use.
