Cherubina

Cherubina means ?Blessed?. It is a name derived from the Akkadian ?karabu / kuribu?, meaning ?blessing, blessed?. A cherub is a type of spiritual being mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, often depicted as a baby with wings. This font was based on the hand lettering I found on a 1962 Japanese poster for the movie ?Mother Joanna Of The Angels?. The poster was designed by Hiroyoshi Oshima.

Cherubina font is an all caps font (upper and lower case differ and can be used together) with a medieval feel to it. I tried to keep the 'spirit? of Hiroyoshi Oshima's lettering, but changed the glyphs and designed most of them myself, as I had nothing but the title of the poster to work with. I have added some ligatures as well.

Comes with my blessing and an eternity of diacritics.
