Jim Rimmer's marker-drawn script inspired by interwar German poster lettering, released in smooth and rough versions following a 2012 remaster.

About

Rimmer drew Zigarre with a large marker rather than a brush, giving it a distinctly inky, spontaneous quality rooted in German poster and advertising lettering of the interwar period. The 2012 update produced two distinct subfamilies: Zigarre Script, which smooths out the original roughness, and Zigarre Rough, which preserves the raw marker texture. Both come with extended Latin language support and built-in stylistic alternates.

Classification
