Something condensed and heavy, but also gestural and flowy, based on a line of calligraphy from an old writing manual.

Fin.

Digitizing this took a good bit more than a day (maybe 5?). Rather than making it a perfectly connected handwriting-esque font, I stuck to the lithographic faux-connecting look, which works perfectly well if not better. Fixed up the occasional curve, extended the ascenders, and added a few characters of my own (the source material was rather incomplete), but for the most part this script is perfect as is, drawn by an anonymous person at least 116 years ago. Pour one out for them.

@fhardwig@mastodon.social Florian, I do not know what I'd do without you. You're a machine! Thanks so much, gorgeous specimens (That "Cie" ligature)!

@dannycalders@typo.social Thank you!

@Charles@gascoigne.social I agree; just need to finish the uppercase and draw some figured
