About Just Me Again Down Here

Just Me Again Down Here is a handwriting typeface made from Kimberly Geswein's own quick, untidy hand. In the official notes she explains that she created it a few weeks after moving with her family to China, drawing on a Wacom tablet in Adobe Illustrator, at a time when she could not yet speak the language and wanted a reminder of something she knew how to do. The specimen shows thin, even strokes like a fine marker, tall narrow letters that do not join, and a small lowercase in which r and e keep their capital shapes, so a word such as Here mixes cases by design. Capitals lean and vary in size; the G and W are drawn with loops. There is one Regular style with 352 glyphs in the Latin and Latin Extended subsets, licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
