New Font: Agravain

Agravain is a very attractive speedball-style hand lettering font with elaborate and stylish character forms, expecially in the upper case which feature unique characteristics of the type of traditional calligraphy from which it derives. It has nice, clean lines and a high readability factor and would be excellent for posters, menu designs or theatrical programs. It’s compatible in style and character with some of our past fonts like Valentin, Ganelon and Gaheris.

You can download and try the demo version of Agravain in TrueType format for Mac or PC. The full version of the font is available from our ordering site.
