Description
Mansalva is a script font that works well for notes and informal text passages. It presents two alternates for each letter and number to provide a natural, handwritten, less mechanical look. It also features good legibility for a handwriting typeface and is perfect for a casual-looking annotation. Latest upgrade from October 2022 includes a Latin Plus language coverage currently supporting most Latin-based languages. The vertical metrics have been harmonised for a better cross-platform experience; as a result existing users may notice a visible increase of the line spacing in webpages and documents on Mac.

Designer
Carolina Short
Carolina is a designer from Buenos Aires. After 30 years of working in the industry, and part-time teaching experience in Argentina, Germany and New Zealand, took a full-time academic position at the University of Waikato. Her education was in traditional graphic design, with a strong emphasis on typography, which became her deep interest. In 1994 she created the experimental typeface Miyuscules, one of the first Argentine digital fonts. In 1996 became a digital nomad, founded Bigital with Tomás García Ferrari, and started developing projects for clients in different countries, mainly in interactive and digital media. In 2019 she designed Mansalva, and keeps thinking about new typography projects, currently with other fonts under development.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.
