Cursive Serif font

Extended information

This is another of my old fonts used to inscriptions on stone.
I created the CursiveSerif font about 14-15 years ago (like other fonts - when I started doing the inscriptions on stone professionally). Initially the font was only serif. I decided to create two versions - Sans and Serif. CursiveSerif is the first part of two fonts family. The second part is CursiveSans.
