Brilliance is a glamorous modern screen blackletter combining the rich tapestry of Textura with a hint of the airy lightness of Spencerian script, perfect for display screen functions. In addition to exuberant, swashy capitals and crisp, rhythmic lowercase letters, Brilliance uses a set of distinct little capitals modeled on condensed Roman lettershapes. They can be utilized to replace the lowercase (SMCP feature) for an extremely condensed entitling style, or to change the capitals (C2SC feature) for a compact, legible text style.
Like all Catharsis Fonts items, Radiance features extensive language assistance, ligatures, and contextual and stylistic alternates, and careful spacing and kerning. The starting and ending flourishes in the last poster images can be gotten either through stylistic alternates of the guillemets (""), or by typing two or 3 guillements in a row.
Acknowledgements: Luster was created entirely in the Glyphs Application, though it carefully follows a calligraphic style I developed for myself with the broad-nib pen, which in turn makes use of lots of inspirations from conventional and contemporary blackletter calligraphy. The typeface greatly gained from useful feedback from the Typophile and TypeDrawers forums. The background texture in the advertising posters is by MGB-Stock. This font is devoted to Simone, who offered me a Pilot Parallel Pen for my birthday and thus set all of this in motion.
