About Alex and Eliza

Alex and Eliza: A Love Story is the 2017 historical-romance novel by Filipina-American author Melissa de la Cruz, telling the courtship of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler against the backdrop of the Revolutionary War. Riding the wave of Hamilton-the-musical fervour, the cover art uses a flourished display script for the title — typography meant to evoke 18th-century calligraphy without tipping into pastiche.

Romance-novel covers have long leaned on flourished scripts to signal genre at a glance, and the Alex and Eliza treatment is part of a broader trend in historical-romance design where calligraphic titles meet contemporary photography. The script's cursive flow carries period authenticity, while the cover layout itself reads as modern bookstore-floor competitive.

What font does Alex and Eliza use?

Alex and Eliza uses Andrade Pro Script, designed by Dino dos Santos at DSType (2008). A commercial calligraphic script inspired by 18th-century Portuguese writing master Manuel de Andrade de Figueiredo.
