Berimbau is a whimsical narrow hand-drawn typeface. It�s stylish, versatile and loaded with amazing OpenType features that do their magic in OpenType savvy applications. Its sprightly swashes and twisting stylistic alternates (say that 3 times fast!) play together to deliver a really cool contextual feature that, in a push-button way, substitutes the first letter in a word with its left swash version and the last letter with its right swash version (please type a space before and after the words). The feature also applies stylistic variants in some of the intermediate letters. Which button to push? The Contextual Alternates one! If you're not a one-click-way-person you can pick your choices through the glyphs palette. There you�ll find at least 4 variations for each letter: left swash, right swash and 2 regular forms that correspond to the upper and lower case keys. Some letters also have a 5th variation that acts as stylistic alternate.This font is conveniently packed with the �access all alternates� functionality, so when you click on a glyph at the glyphs palette you�ll see all variations available for it, making it easier to choose the one that will fit better. The bold weight was made to provide that extra-strength when a bit of� boldness is needed. Please note that it doesn�t have the advanced OpenType features. Finally, both weights have a very nice set of ornaments for added yumminess.
