design inspiration
Angel Script is a light, contemporary monoline script based loosely on an earlier release of mine called Luce. I basically had a stack of pre-sketches and early glyph studies from the earlier font in a box. My daughter commented 'pretty' and asked which one it was. That second look at this earlier work was beneficial because it allowed me to refine the sensibilies of the monoline and building a much more robust typeface.

design information
There are approximately 695 individual glyphs complete with Stylistic and Contextual Alternates, Titling Alternates, Swashes and even Old Style Numerals. Needless to say, there’s a lot ‘under the hood’, and the typographic flexibility I wanted with earlier concepts shows in grand style with this release.

The single weight font includes a complete Central European and Western diacritic set as well.
