A font made in the proto-calligraphic style I invented and used when I was a teenager circa 2001-2002. I haven't owned a nibbed pen since those days, so this font is as far as the style was ever allowed to evolve. It's somewhat lacking the handwritten character my writing had, but this regularity is the result I was trying to achieve. I had no particular use in mind for the style other than titling documents. For that reason I consider this to be a Headliner.

NOTES:

- This is Pixel Optimized at 2x size and greater, and can be optimized at 1x size by doubling the letterspacing. (May no longer be true since I've added so many new letters...)

- "I" is kerned to itself so that it can be used to make nicer-looking Roman numerals.
