Hummingbird
Laura Worthington Design · Laura Worthington
A connected cursive script with 214 contextual alternates and 266 swashes, designed to replicate the organic irregularity of traditional penmanship.
About
Modelled on old-fashioned cursive penmanship, the letterforms evoke bundled correspondence and leather-bound ledgers. The large inventory of contextual alternates prevents repetition across longer settings, while an extensive swash set includes a full suite of decorated uppercase letters. Specially encoded for use without professional design software, making the OpenType features accessible to a broader audience.
Classification
Hummingbird is a connected handwritten script drawing directly from cursive penmanship traditions, with multiple contextual alternates and swash sets to simulate natural handwriting variation.
