## 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 it 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.

## Things to know

- **Letters do not join**: Unlike a connected script, each letter of Redressed stands apart, so tracking can be adjusted without breaking joins.
- **Apache License 2.0**: Redressed is under the Apache License 2.0. Copies carry the license text and copyright notices, and the license gives no trademark rights.
- **One style**: There is a single Regular style at weight 400, with no bold or separate italic.
