If you are looking for a traditional italic script and plenty of elegant swashes with swirls than you are on the right place! Cardinal script was drawn with a real nib using china ink, high-quality paper. After that it was carefully scanned and finally implemented into the font. Cardinal italic consists of 2400+ glyphs!
Each capital letter has 40 pre-made integrated swashes decorated with swirls. Everything you need is to type: A1, A2, A3… A40 Isn’t it easy? Absolutely easy and fast. Just type and choose your preferable swash on the go. Not necessary to distract your self by opening a glyph panel.
When you type !1 !2 !3 … !80 you will get individual decorative element that can be combined with any letter in any place.
HOW TO GET ACCESS TO ALTERNATES?
Absolutely easy! Just type a number after any letter or use Glyphs panel. Capital letters have 2-10 options. Type A01 or B2 and see how it works. Scroll down and start testing it!
Lowercase letters have 5-20 options. Type: C3a1rd4ina2l15 and see how alternates, swashes will appear. Turn on your creativity, pick the best glyph and enjoy the result!
This method is super fast and makes designer’s life so easy!Especially if you work with older version of Photoshop which simply doesn’t support Glyphs panel.
