BACKGROUND

An apostil is a marginal note: something hand-written, and usually added after-the-fact. Apostils may be scholarly commentary written in the margins of ancient religious folios, or perhaps hastily-scrawled warnings added to the pages of a magical grimoire. Apostils written on ancient manuscripts often look cramped or rushed, and may be written in shorthand; they may have noticeably different handwriting, or even a different color ink, than the main text on the page.

This is why we created Apostil Script. Apostil Script is the handwriting of cryptic notes hastily scratched into the margins, adding mystery and intrigue to your world’s scrolls and other artifacts. The main lettering of Apostil Script is based on hand-written notes found in the margins of work by Marsilio Ficino, written in the 1400’s. However, we have also added several optional features that you can use to add to the cryptic and ancient feeling of your text.

The Apostil Script font is a perfect way to enhance props, costumes, and accessories associated with ancient magical texts and the wisdom of elder civilizations. Whether you are cosplaying Edward Kelley at an upcoming convention, or creating clues for adventurers to find in your next RPG campaign, let Apostil Script inspire you.

DESIGN NOTES

  1. The strokes of the lettering resemble a traditional flat nib ink pen, but they also look cramped and slightly rushed. Imagine a scribe with an elegant pen, but rushing to add notes into the margin of a grimoire!

  2. The lettering supports Old English and accented characters allowing it to support Swedish, French, Spanish, Vietnamese, and a wide range of other languages.

  3. The letters "G" and "S" are converted to more archaic letter forms according to standard contextual rules, using special ligatures.

  4. Tironian Shorthand characters, used by monks throughout the middle ages, are implemented as optional (discretionary) ligatures

  5. The Insular letter forms used in Ireland, Scotland, and England are available as contextual alternates, and can be selected individually to add a "medieval feel" to your writing

OPENTYPE FEATURES

The following features are implemented using the standard ligatures (liga) feature: standard Latin ligatures, special legibility-enhancing ligatures, archaic Latin ligatures, and the ligature rules that transform special cases of S to Long S, and G to Insular G, according to standard practice in the 13th to 16th centuries.

The following features are implemented using the discretionary ligatures (dlig) feature: Tironian shorthand characters, swash letter forms for initial capitals.

The following features are implemented using the stylistic alternates (salt) feature: optional Insular letter forms.
