About Vibur
Vibur is a handwriting typeface drawn with a round-ended line of constant thickness. According to the official notes, Johan Kallas started from his own handwriting and reworked the strokes to make them more pronounced and tidier than the original, aiming at a display font. In the specimen the lowercase slants and joins through loops, with a cursive r and s and looped b, o, v and w, while the capitals are plain, unconnected and only slightly slanted. Parentheses are wide open arcs and the 7 carries a crossbar. The notes mention numerous ligatures that can be switched on through OpenType features. The family has a single style, labelled Regular 400, and is not a variable font. Its 264 glyphs cover the basic Latin set; French is covered except for the rare œ. Vibur is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
