Cherubina means ‘Blessed’. It is a name derived from the Akkadian “karabu / kuribuâ€, meaning “blessing, blessedâ€. 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 Angelsâ€. 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.
