A simplified take on English roundhand calligraphy, drawn by Cyrus Highsmith in 2004 for headline and pull-quote use in Brides magazine.
About
Drawn in 2004 for Brides magazine, Biscotti translates traditional English roundhand calligraphy into a clean, contemporary script suited to display headlines and pull quotes. Two weights, Regular and Bold, carry extended Latin character support including accented forms and standard ligatures. The letterforms are deliberately simplified rather than strictly imitative, giving the face a lighter editorial quality without the fussiness of historical copperplate revival.
Classification
Biscotti is based on traditional English roundhand calligraphy, simplified for 21st-century typographic use. Its origins in copperplate-influenced script place it firmly in the script category with a roundhand subcategory.
