Author's note

Havlova-Austral Italic by Cleber Giovani Soares is a free handwritten script with the quick, oversized gestures of an expressive signature. Its long loops and sweeping cross-strokes push far beyond the main letter shapes, and the changing stroke widths give the line an impulsive, inked quality.

A poster title is its strongest role, especially for fashion events or music promotions where the lettering can become part of the image. It also suits album artwork, editorial openers, and personal branding, though event titles make the fullest use of its very broad, unruly horizontal sweep.

The font Havlova is based on the calligraphy of Czech-Australian photographer Sonia Havlova Makac. Her website is:
