Designed by Jure Stojan, JY Shapa-- his first serif household for JY&A Fonts-- has a wide-pen, calligraphic feel, with the upper half of the letters fairly conservative to help acknowledgment, however the lower half more ornamental and dynamic to accomplish a particular rhythm. The italics are more dynamic, with the upper halves more running, with Stojan taking greater liberties with the style.
Ligatures such as ct and st are included, as well as little caps for all weights. The JY Shapa font styles include over 5,000 kerning sets each.
