Guide Review - Scriptina

Long flowing ascenders and descenders on some characters dress up this simple script font. Best suited to logos or short words and phrases, the loops and descenders require extra line spacing to be readable. The alternative characters include a less curvy A, F, H, and W as well as some useful double characters and ligatures such as dd, fi, and th. Having the alternate characters in a separate font file is less convenient but the font is not intended for extended text so it is acceptable.

See the Vendor's Link for a look at more characters and the download links.
