RELEASE CANDIDATE / 0.900

Where wild stories grow.

Organic curves, tapering strokes and thorn-like terminals give Thornrose its storybook character. Use it for large titles, book covers and posters, preferably at 48–120 pt.

The default A is quiet. Enable Stylistic Set 1 (ss01) for the spiral A, or Discretionary Ligatures (dlig) for the connected RAY ornament. Both decorative options are off by default.

Know the limits

172 encoded characters and 175 glyphs: basic English, selected Latin accents and symbols. This is not complete multilingual coverage or a body-text font. Native editing-app save/reopen checks, independent beta feedback and source-image generation terms remain pending.
