CirrusCumulus specimen from Velvetyne

A curveless sans that pairs a lineal lowercase with a script-like uppercase, built from modules borrowed from scientific diagrams.

About

CirrusCumulus avoids curves entirely, building every letter from modules inspired by scientific diagrams. Clara Sambot hybridised two registers within one family: a lineal, geometric lowercase against a script-like uppercase, with some glyphs adopting italic forms that throw up unusual ligatures and arabesques. A large set of drawing characters and non-binary, inclusive glyphs rounds out the set.

Classification

Built entirely without curves from modules drawn from scientific diagrams. A lineal lowercase pairs with a script-like uppercase, and some glyphs switch to italic forms, throwing up unusual ligatures and arabesques.
