Aka the quaintness of a hobbit with a touch of the elegance of the elves. The general feel I would like to achieve is essentially Bilbo.
Here is what I think I am settling on, and here is the same script using a different type of pen as well as another similar script I came across.
I also borrowed letters and parts of letters from similar scripts I found on the internet, and the original Uncial script which Kereru is inspired by. The vast majority of this script is just the Kereru font by Daniel Reeve, aka the official script used by the hobbits in the movies. I ended up not so much designing a script as using pieces of existing scripts and cutting out what I didn't like. As I have started to teach myself calligraphy, I decided I would love to learn a script specifically for copying out Tokien's work. The name Kereru comes from New Zealand's Maori language - it is our native wood pigeon, a bird of generous and rounded type, like the typeface itself.Once I have done some more practice with it I can head over to r/calligraphy for CC on the technical aspects of the script, but I'd love to hear what you guys think about it so far in general. Kereru Italic supercedes and enhances upon its previous version, Shire Regular. A pdf description of the Stylistic Sets and their usage is included with the font bundle, which consists of routine, strong and italic variations. Kereru is extremely understandable and easy on the eye, without compromising calligraphic flair. Cyrillic and Greek alphabets are consisted of, in addition to the letters required for all the languages of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltic. Nominally a half-uncial style, creative arrangements of the stylistic sets allow Kereru to be set as complete uncial or basic roman, along with offering numerous alternates, ligatures, swashes and flourishes, accessories, unrestricted fractions, scientific inferiors and numeric superscript, all accessible through OpenType features. p > Artist and calligrapher Daniel Reeve, popular for the lettering and maps in The Lord of the Rings movies, is producing hand-crafted fonts of some of his writing styles - Kereru is the inaugural release, enabling users to replicate some of his much-admired calligraphy. Kereru contains 4 designs and household plan alternatives.
Kereru was created by Daniel Reeve and published by Daniel Reeve.
