This typeface is based upon the handwriting of Max Caflisch, among the foremost graphic designers of this century. Caflisch, a teacher of graphic arts for more than 3 years in Zurich, is author of numerous books on typography and designer of the 1952 Columna typeface. Caflisch's handwriting has a free-flowing yet disciplined character, the outcome of years of practice and dedication to the calligraphic arts. Designer Robert Slimbach retained the subtleties and natural letter joins of Caflisch's initial handwriting while adjusting it into a typographically sound and extremely practical script typeface. Caflisch Script was first launched in 1993, and drastically improved for OpenType in 2001. Caflisch Script can be used anywhere the appearance of a great hand is wanted, in addition to more sophisticated and useful situations such as screen work in books and copysetting for advertisements.
