A backslant connected script revival of Lakeside Script by Barnhart Brothers & Spindler, adapted with Vietnamese language support and named after a Vietnamese phrase meaning 'twisted neck'.
About
Still in active development at version 0.400, Ngoẹo takes the reverse-slanted energy of the nineteenth-century Lakeside Script and reframes it through a contemporary lens, with the angled forms lending the letterforms a distinctive leaning quality. The name, pronounced [ŋwɛw], draws from the Vietnamese 'ngoẹo cổ', meaning twisted neck, which directly mirrors the typeface's unconventional backward tilt. Currently available as a single Regular style, it supports Latin and Vietnamese character sets.
Classification
Ngoẹo is explicitly described as a backslant script typeface with flowing connections, based on Lakeside Script by Barnhart Brothers & Spindler, placing it firmly in the connected script category with an unusual reverse slant.
