Cinnamon scent: check. Swirls: check. Curls: check. Cinnamon Swirl is a very romantic, very ‘sugar-and-spice-and-all-things-nice’ kinda font. It would look great on book covers, slumber party posters and postcards. The Swirl comes with some lovely ligatures and stylistic alternates –

Toverheks Font

A Toverheks in Dutch means ‘witch’ – well, actually it means ‘magic witch’ (it doesn’t translate well). The reason for this kind of weird name is the nature of the font: it reminded me of a book of spells –
