Zurika specimen from Typogama

A playful handwritten script by Michael Parson, inspired by chalk lettering spotted on a bar wall in Zurich, with a distinctive mix of unicase and conventional letterforms.

About

Zurika blends unicase styling with traditional uppercase and lowercase, producing an idiosyncratic rhythm suited to large display sizes where its extended ascenders and descenders can interact freely. The capital A most closely echoes the original bar lettering that inspired the design. Available in Regular and Bold, the family covers ISO Latin-1 across two OpenType formats.

Classification

A quirky, informal handwritten script with unicase styling and mixed uppercase and lowercase letterforms, featuring prominent ascenders and descenders. Its organic, calligraphic character places it firmly in the handwritten script category.
