About Redressed

Redressed is a calligraphic typeface in which script-like capitals sit beside italic-style lowercase letters that do not connect. In the specimen the capitals A, M and N are rounded and swashed, the lowercase r and s take cursive forms, and thick and thin strokes alternate as they would from a broad pen. The official description calls it a medium-weight design with open spacing, drawn for titling and, at smaller sizes, for readable copy. The family has one Regular style, with no bold or italic companion, and is not a variable font. Its 376 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended, including the letters for Turkish, Polish, Czech and Hungarian. The catalogue credits Astigmatic, and the copyright notice names Brian J. Bonislawsky, doing business as Astigmatic. Redressed is distributed under the Apache License 2.0 rather than the Open Font License.

Where Redressed works

Invitations and announcements

Swashed capitals open names and dates, while the unjoined lowercase keeps the remaining words easy to make out.

Menu and chapter titles

The official notes single out titling; one or two words show the pen contrast and the rounded capitals.

Labels for handmade goods

A medium stroke weight prints solidly on jars, tags and wine or soap labels.

Short quotations

Open spacing between unconnected letters lets a two- or three-line quotation be read without effort.
