Telma
Fontshare · Jitka Janečková · 2021
An informal script family by Czech designer Jitka Janečková, built on thick-thin contrast with swash capitals, oldstyle figures and ligature support across five weights.
About
Designed by Jitka Janečková and released through Fontshare in 2021, Telma spans five weights from Light to Black, with thick strokes growing heavier at each step while the thins remain consistent. Several uppercase letters carry swash-like descenders, and lowercase ascenders rise above capital height, giving the face a distinctive rhythm. OpenType ligatures and contextual alternates activate automatically, making it well suited to packaging, greeting cards and magazine headlines on glossy stock.
Classification
Fontshare categorises it as Script; the letterforms are drawn with pen-like thick-thin contrast and informal, connected strokes, placing it squarely in the informal script category.
