About Petronella Font Family


Petronella was inspired by the writing of several members of my family in Holland who wrote daily journals to each other during World War II. They exchanged each other's journals via the International Red Cross in Geneva. While it is impossible to recreate someone's handwriting, this font is an attempt to capture all the unique and stylish characters that were written with such sure strokes and amazing flare. The capital "P" and "R" in particular are unusually distinctive. I feel sure you'll agree this script reflects an incredibly positive outlook. I hope you enjoy and use this font as much as I had fun recreating it!
