About
Built as a fully variable font with seven named stops from Light to Black, Firula simulates the rhythm of a brush-drawn hand through connected letterforms and a suite of OpenType features including contextual alternates, swashes, St ligatures and an alternate final t. Lighter weights carry enough legibility for short phrases; heavier cuts suit single words and display headlines where the cursive capitals and swashes come into their own. Glyph coverage spans Latin Extended with fractions, super- and subscripts, and case-sensitive forms.
Classification
