About Give You Glory

Give You Glory is a handwriting typeface that keeps the unevenness of quick writing with a fine pen. Its designer describes it as a mixed-case font: in the specimen the lowercase k, n, q and r take capital shapes while their neighbours stay ordinary lowercase, the way many people write by hand. Strokes are thin and even, letters are tall and loosely spaced, and the baseline bounces; the capital A is a large round loop, and descenders on g, j and y drop far below the line. Numerals are irregular in size and the ampersand is a small knot. The family has one Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 351 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended, including the letters for languages such as Turkish, Polish and Czech. Kimberly Geswein designed it, and it is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
