Doolittle Garamond is currently in the early stages of development, but is available for downloading to try it out. It is intended to bring the classical beauty of Garamond typefaces to the Shavian alphabet and includes the first true italic for the Shavian alphabet.

Cafe Majestic Inline

A fantastic sans serif font developed as part of Google’s Noto Sans suite of fonts. Download from Google here.
