Designer's Notes

"Mathilde" is a handwritten, cursive/print hybrid typeface that includes accented letterforms, math symbols, as well as opentype contextual alternatives for common double-letter combinations.

The font is free for personal as well as commercial use, but donations are always appreciated. Thanks!

Update 10/01/2012: Improved font's compatibility with word processors. Added swash characters for letter-forms with very long tails.

Update 10/26/2012: Small metrics fix, overlap fix

Update 11/28/2012: Added TrueType (.ttf) version and bold style (for $5) on my website, here: http://leeviathan.com/portfolio-item/mathilde-free-handwritten-opentype-font/#content
