Olicana
A fountain-pen handwriting script in three variants, using OpenType contextual ligatures to reduce glyph repetition and improve authenticity.
About
Three subfamilies cover a spectrum from crude to refined: Rough for raw, unpolished results; Smooth for a more schooled feel; and Fine for a delicate touch. The font relies heavily on OpenType's contextual alternate and ligature features to swap letter combinations automatically as you type, avoiding the telltale repeated-glyph look common in lesser handwriting fonts. The character set also includes swashes, small caps, ink splats, crossing-outs, fractions and ordinals, with language support across West European, Central and East European, Baltic and Turkish Latin scripts.
Classification
Olicana is a handwriting-style script mimicking fountain pen writing, with contextual ligatures and alternates that give it the irregular character of genuine handwritten text.
