Cursiv by VL is a free calligraphic script with sweeping capitals, pronounced thick-to-thin strokes, and a formal italic stance. Long curves and sharply tapered endings give the lettering a lively, engraved elegance.
Designers working in luxury, fashion, or classical cultural settings will find it especially apt for invitations and perfume packaging. Its ornate capitals can turn a book cover into a period-minded piece of lettering rather than a neutral title. Restaurant menus and concert posters also suit its theatrical sweep, particularly when the project draws on European elegance or old-world ceremony.
