About Caveat
Caveat is a casual handwriting face by Impallari Type, published under the SIL Open Font License. It is unjoined: the letters stand apart, so it reads as handwriting rather than continuous cursive. Its x-height is medium at 36 percent of the em, so the lowercase is in proportion with the capitals. Strokes are plain, with swashes that stay within the letter (swash extent 0.202). The stance is a clear right slant at about 19 degrees. It includes Cyrillic, so it renders Russian text in the Cyrillic cursive generator as well as Latin. It is a variable font (wght 400 to 700), so the weight slider in the generator changes the real outlines rather than faking bold. It suits craft projects, social graphics, invitations.
The letters at a glance
Using Caveat
Keep Caveat at 18 point or larger in print and 24 pixels or larger on screen; below that the letter shapes start to blur. Because the letters do not connect, it cuts cleanly on a vinyl cutter and reads well on labels; export SVG for cutting and PNG at 300 DPI for print. Before committing, check the spacing between letters at the size you will use; unjoined faces can look loose in a long word.
