OpenType features
| Tag | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| calt | On | Contextual alternates. Drops the lead-in stroke at the start of a word, swaps the exit for a terminal at the end of one, removes the connector from a capital with no lowercase after it, and varies the second letter of a doubled pair. |
| dlig | Off | Discretionary ligatures. Joined tt and ff written with a single continuous crossbar. |
| kern | On | Pair kerning for punctuation and free-standing capitals. Joining letters are deliberately left unkerned, because they meet at fixed geometric points and any kern would tear the connection apart. |

Licence and distribution
CTG Everly Script is published by Cursive Text Generator under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. You can use it in personal and commercial work, embed it in websites and apps, and bundle or modify it, as long as the font software itself stays under the same licence and is not sold on its own.
How it was made
Letters are authored as pen skeletons rather than as outlines. A variable-width nib is run along each skeleton, the resulting shapes are unioned and refitted with cubic curves, and the right slant is sheared into the skeleton before expansion so stroke weight stays perpendicular to the pen path. Sources live in font-source/ctg_everly_script/; rebuild with python3 scripts/build-everly-script.py followed by the finish, preview and validation scripts.
