Aphrosine is something between handwriting and calligraphy: it took too much effort for being "simply handwriting" but does not have severity and regularity comparing to real calligraphic typefaces. That's why it was called after a strange character from a kids's book: a witch who was very fond of dressing, makeup and writing letters.
Aphrosine has three faces. But unlike a lot of other type households, the glyphs from one face do not match exactly the glyphs from another one. The faces are based on composing with various nibs but by the exact same hand.
The type is created by Alexandra Korolkova and Alexander Lubovenko and launched by ParaType in 2015.
