Didonesque Script specimen from Paulo Goode

A formally inclined script with four weights and display counterparts, drawing on the rigid structure of the Didonesque family rather than the loose flamboyancy typical of connecting scripts.

About

Part of the broader Didonesque family, this script maintains the upright incline and structural discipline of its Didone-influenced cousins, keeping decorative impulses in check. Four weights from Regular to Black are each paired with a Display variant intended for larger point sizes. OpenType features include positional forms, contextual alternates, ligatures, stylistic alternates and old-style figures across a glyph set of 550 or more.

Classification

A formal connecting script with an upright, structured incline that restrains typical script flamboyancy, resulting in a reserved and rigid character more akin to its Didone-influenced serif siblings than a conventional flowing script.
