Nigella Font

Nigella is a high contrast luxury serif with big, curving swashes. On the cover the N curls in at the base, the g drops into a long loop, and the i is topped with a small four pointed star. A hand holding an orange gerbera rises through the middle of the word against a cream background.

Away from the logo the alphabet is calmer. The uppercase and lowercase sheets show narrow, elegant letters with fine hairlines, and a lowercase g with a curled tail. That makes it workable for a short line of text as well as a name. The free download is one OTF file.
