<strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong><br />
<strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> is a contemporary italic script, designed<br />
by Robert Slimbach and based on the handwriting of<br />
renowned Swiss typographer Max <strong>Caflisch</strong>. At first<br />
glance, it evokes a friendly and informal quality. But<br />
closer inspection reveals that it owes its character to a<br />
seas<strong>one</strong>d craftsperson with respect for classic handwriting<br />
traditions. The <strong>typeface</strong> assumes the calligraphic<br />
flourishes of the chancery hand and transposes them into<br />
the present day. <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> speaks directly to the<br />
reader and produces striking word images that enliven<br />
any communication. It is ideal for use on its own, for<br />
informal correspondence and advertising, or in conjunction<br />
with more static types for strong contrast.<br />
The <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> Weight Axis<br />
Before <strong>multiple</strong> <strong>master</strong> technology, <strong>typeface</strong> families<br />
were limited to a fixed selection of weights. With <strong>Caflisch</strong><br />
<strong>Script</strong>, type users can fine-tune <strong>typeface</strong> weight to best<br />
suit the job at hand. The <strong>Caflisch</strong> <strong>Script</strong> weight <strong>axis</strong><br />
spans from light to bold, and works much like a pen<br />
selector. The user can choose a pen style that ranges from<br />
fine-point to broad-felt-tip.<br />
