About Dawning of a New Day

Dawning of a New Day is a handwriting typeface in a joined cursive style. The line is thin and keeps one thickness throughout, as from a fine ballpoint; lowercase letters lean slightly to the right and link along the baseline, while the capitals are tall with open loops, most visibly in D, H, J and L. The lowercase is small beside the capitals and the long ascenders, so the face looks light and airy and needs a generous size. Kimberly Geswein made the font from a friend's handwriting; her note says the friend picked the name and that the fluid strokes are meant to carry the hopeful feeling of a fresh start. There is a single Regular style, with no bold and no italic. The 263 glyphs cover Western European Latin, including the letters for French, German, Spanish and the Nordic languages.
