Apostil Script

Summary

An apostil is a marginal note: something hand-written, and usually added after-the-fact. Apostils may be scholarly commentary written in the margins of ancient religious folios, or perhaps hastily-scrawled warnings added to the pages of a magical grimoire. Apostils written on ancient manuscripts often look cramped or rushed, and may be written in shorthand; they may have noticeably different handwriting, or even a different color ink, than the main text on the page.

This is why we created Apostil Script. Apostil Script is the handwriting of cryptic notes hastily scratched into the margins, adding mystery and intrigue to your world’s scrolls and other artifacts. The font includes several optional features that you can use to add to the cryptic and ancient feeling of your text: the “long S”, so-called “insular lettering” (popular in the British Isles between the 7th and 12th centuries), and Tironian shorthand (used by monks throughout the middle ages). Apostil Script has extensive coverage of unusual and accented letters, allowing you to transcribe anything from Old English to Vietnamese.
