Will the math calligraphic alphabet also function as swash caps for the italic?

Probably, yes. (The difficult part is the completion for Greek and Cyrillic.)

Here is a first version of swash caps for the tiny italic face:

Lovely! My eye catches a bit on the top right of /U. /N (and maybe /E) looks narrow to my eye.
These would be a great starting point for a spin-off baseball script!

I do deeply dig. The Y seems a bit off, but I can't recommend any specific change to it.

@John Butler I agree.

Maybe a shape like this? (Just a quick test)

Yes, very fetching! As for /Y/, how about a descender?

John Butler · August 5

Yes, I think I like this newer Y.

@Linus Romer Maybe this idea can be useful in some way
