Author's note

Xiparos is a free handwritten caps font with an art nouveau drift and a loose, ribbon-like rhythm. The letters stretch tall and narrow, with long tapering strokes, rounded turns, and a few unexpected loops that make the set feel airy, elegant, and slightly eccentric.

This free font fits work that wants a decorative human touch rather than a polished script - think book covers, boutique branding, poster titles, invitation headings, and monograms. It works best in short display settings where those sinuous verticals and looping joins have room to carry the mood.
