“Calligraphy” is the name of the top luxury trim available on the 2026 Hyundai Palisade. Which essentially comes across the way Doug Demuro pronounces it.
You might be impersonating a police officer if you’re also impersonating a font.
The preview mechanism on MyFonts seems to center each glyph vertically in its square, making for a rather jarring presentation. Example: Van Dijck.
Here is Inkscape’s approach: no feature serrings names, just all affected glyphs. Note the multiple selectors in the character variants near the bottom.

This example shows Junicode. Note the character variant selctions have names, but the stylistic sets only show up as “None” or “1”.
It’s just about 2025, and Amazon’s Kindle Reader is still embracing pseudoscience.
Here’s the reverse of Einstürzende Neubauten’s latest album Rampen. I wonder whether the textura is a font. Looking forward to its release in April

It remains my favorite typeface.
