## About Sarina

Sarina is a display script that imitates lettering made with a broad, loaded brush. The letters lean hard to the right and are stretched sideways, so words run long and low; strokes swell and thin moderately and finish in rounded brush ends. Lowercase letters join along the baseline, while the capitals are separate, simpler forms that lead into them. Numerals and punctuation share the slant and weight. The official notes describe medium contrast and a wide setting and recommend medium to larger sizes. Sarina has one style, Regular, and 411 glyphs for Latin and Latin Extended. James Grieshaber is the designer, and the copyright notice names Sorkin Type Co, with Sarina as a Reserved Font Name.

## Where it works

- **Diner, garage and surf-shop logos**: Heavy joined brush letters echo hand-painted mid-century signs.
- **Shopfront and window lettering**: Wide, dark strokes read from a distance, and the slant gives a painted-by-hand feel.
- **Headlines of one or two words**: The wide setting means a short phrase already fills a line.
- **Sports and event shirts**: A team or event name in joined brush script sits naturally across a chest or banner.

## Things to know

- **Sets wide**: Letters are stretched horizontally, so Sarina takes more line length than most scripts at equal size.
- **One style**: Sarina has only a Regular style: no lighter weight, no upright version.
- **Capitals lead into lowercase**: The capitals do not join each other; they are drawn to start a word of joined lowercase.
