Dalli

Dalli, not unlike Tap, not unlike Tap, preserves a rough contour and utilises irregularities to produce fluid and harmonious lines. In this case, however, the handwriting style is deliberately pushed almost to the point of illegibility in some places. This is primarily implemented using a large number of ligatures and alternative letters, which are added automatically by means of OpenType features. For instance, there is a ligature nn, which can also be used for nu, un or uu, just as in real life. Therefore ‘Dalli, Dalli’, in two bolds!
