## About Cherry Swash

Cherry Swash is a slab serif display face drawn with strokes of one thickness. In the specimen most capitals begin with a curl at the upper left, as on A, B, D, M, N and R, and the C and S curl inward at their ends, while the lowercase is a sturdy, unadorned slab serif. The figures are old-style, with 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 descending below the baseline, and the @ sign is drawn as a spiral. The official description characterises the face as a contemporary monolinear slab serif with swash capitals and points to headlines and logos as its place. The family has 2 styles, Regular 400 and Bold 700, without italics, and each file holds 267 glyphs for Western European Latin. Nataliya Kasatkina is the designer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Logos and shop names**: A swash capital followed by plain slab lowercase gives a name one ornamental letter and a steady remainder.
- **Headlines with initial capitals**: Title case shows a curl at the start of each word without crowding the line.
- **Packaging fronts**: Bold 700 keeps the single-thickness strokes strong enough for a label read at arm's length.
- **Menu and section headings**: Regular and Bold allow a heading and a subheading in the same swash style.

## Things to know

- **Swashes are on the capitals**: The lowercase has no curls, so the ornament appears only where capitals are used.
- **Two weights, no italics**: Cherry Swash offers Regular and Bold; there is no italic.
- **Western European coverage**: French lacks only the rare capital Ÿ; Turkish ğ and ş and Polish ą and ę are not in the font.
