Daphne is one of Georg Salden's first typefaces, designed in 1970. It features a large number of calligraphic swashes that can be added to individual characters. The digital version uses OpenType features to apply these swashes. Try it yourself: simply add a sequence of * before a character, or a + after a character. Alternate characters can be applied by typing a # before the letter.

A large number of swashes are available to add to almost all characters. Type a sequence of asterisks before a character or a sequence of plus signs after a character. Alternate characters can be applied by typing a # before the character. Combinations are possible.
