About Delius Unicase

Delius Unicase is a hand-lettered typeface from a family made for comic books. It is unicase: typing lowercase gives letters as tall as the capitals, and in the specimen a and e keep their lowercase shapes at that height while most other letters appear as capitals. The stroke imitates a round marker, growing slightly thicker at the start and finish of each line, and the letters follow the movement of handwriting. There are two static styles, Regular and Bold, with no italic, and Delius Unicase is not a variable font. Each font has 256 glyphs for the basic Latin set. Natalia Raices designed it alongside two companion families, Delius and Delius Swash Caps, and it is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
