## 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.

## Where it works

- **Comic strip balloons**: Unicase letters fill a speech balloon evenly, the use the family was drawn for.
- **Sound effects and shouted lines**: Bold 700 marks emphasis inside a balloon without leaving the typeface.
- **Children's worksheets and games**: Round marker strokes and a single letter height keep short instructions friendly and clear.
- **Captions on social posts**: A one-line caption in mixed capital and lowercase shapes reads as hand lettering.

## Things to know

- **No conventional lowercase**: Both cases are drawn at capital height, so text cannot be set in ordinary mixed case.
- **Basic Latin only**: Western European languages are covered; French lacks only the rare capital Ÿ.
- **Reserved Font Names**: The copyright notice reserves the names Delia, Delia Unicase, Delius and Delius Unicase for the original fonts.
