Although initially inspired by the neon sign in front of Canters Delicatessen in Los Angeles, the design of Deliscript Upright and Deliscript Slant soon took on a life of its ownand its own distinctive look. Like its sibling Metroscript, Deliscript has many features that expand its usability such as the the variable length tails which can be accessed in 6 different styles, and the never before seen crossbars which can be extended outward in either direction from the lower case t. Throw in the special WordLogos, tons of ligatures and foreign accented characters, and you have a recipe for typesetting that approaches the look of hand-lettering.

Deliscript has been chosen by the Type Directors Club to receive their prestigious “Certificate of Excellence in Type Design” in the display fonts category for their TDC² 2010 Typeface Design Competition.
