Fastpen
Natanael Gama · Natanael Gama
A handwritten script in four weights that simulate pen nib thicknesses from 0.5mm to 4mm, with contextual alternates and swash capitals designed to mimic the natural variation of fast handwriting.
About
Each of the four weights corresponds to a specific pen thickness, allowing the delicacy of the thinnest stroke to contrast against the bold presence of the 4mm cut. Contextual alternates capture the quirks of genuine handwriting, while long ascenders and extravagant swash capitals lend the family an energetic, expressive character. Features include common ligatures, stylistic sets, fractions, ordinal numerals and superscript.
Classification
A casual handwritten script typeface with multiple weight variants simulating pen nib thicknesses. The letterforms replicate the natural irregularities and flow of fast handwriting, placing it firmly in the informal script category.
