About Shadows Into Light Two

Shadows Into Light Two is a handwriting typeface that looks written with a fine felt-tip pen. The line keeps one thin weight, stroke ends are rounded, and the letters are tall and tightly spaced, so words take little horizontal room. Crossbars on A, H and t are drawn slightly off level, the lowercase a is single-storey, and the ampersand is reduced to a small looped cross. Letters stay separate; nothing is joined. The official description presents the font as a fully reworked and updated edition of an earlier neat handwriting design, with rounded edges and curves. The family has one Regular font and is not a variable font. Its 355 glyphs cover Latin and Latin Extended, including the letters needed for English, Spanish, French, German, Polish and Turkish. Kimberly Geswein is the designer, and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
