Thursday afternoon
Dear Alex,
I left the book by the window. There is a note on page twenty-three that I thought you would like. Bring it along on Thursday; we can finish the conversation over coffee.
See you there.

Back by 6, love you all
Kimberly Geswein named this one for her husband and children. Her love for them, she wrote, is unconditional and does not hang on anything they could do or say, and the title went onto a font made from the handwriting of a photographer friend.
What Geswein liked in that hand was that it is human and imperfect. Nobody writes perfectly neatly, and she wanted the font to keep the wobble.
The small letters are short, about half the height of the capitals, so a capital at the start of a word jumps out of the line. With no OpenType features at all, every repeated letter is the same drawing. Keep it to a card or a caption under a photo, a couple of lines, where nobody will spot the repeats.
