Katherine specimen from ParaType

A single-weight monoline script from 2007, drawn from informal handwriting to convey an everyday personal quality suited to household and consumer advertising.

About

Designed by Gennady Fridman for ParaType, Katherine is rooted in the natural handwriting of a private individual rather than formal calligraphic tradition. The monoline strokes carry a sense of ease and directness, making it suitable for printed materials where an informal, personal tone is required. Alternate glyphs and discretionary ligatures add variety to the single Regular style.

Classification

A monoline casual script based directly on informal handwriting, with a personal, non-calligraphic feel typical of everyday written communication rather than formal penmanship.
