About Norican
Norican is a formal script by Vernon Adams, published under the SIL Open Font License. It is fully joined: every lowercase letter connects to the next. Its x-height is tall at 41 percent of the em, so the lowercase is large and reads clearly at small sizes. Capitals and some terminals carry a flourish (swash extent 0.3), enough to decorate without crowding the next letter. The stance is a clear right slant at about 18 degrees. It suits wedding stationery, invitations, certificates.
How the letters connect
Using Norican
Keep Norican at 14 point or larger in print and 18 pixels or larger on screen; below that the letter shapes start to blur. Export SVG for cutting machines with Weld on, so the connected letters cut as one shape, and PNG at 300 DPI for print or a transparent PNG for a layout you make yourself. Before committing, check the capital of your first word, since capitals vary more between script fonts than the lowercase does.
