swash letter

Monotype digitisation (includes swash letters in italic and small caps in the regular style only)

Instead of sporting the streamlined blue, modern letters, the sign retains the ruby-red letter forms of the 1930's - with swash letters, curlicues and Gothic spikes, outlined by a 15-millimeter strand of neon.

A member of the Adobe Originals programme, it added many features now standard in high-quality digital fonts, such as small caps, old style figures, swash letters, ligatures, alternate letters, fractions, subscripts and superscripts and matching ornaments.
