Filmotype Jade is unique as one of a few bold condensed upright scripts in its library with its smooth flowing handwritten style originally released by Filmotype in 1955 to expand its Scripts category.

Filmotype Jade was developed from the original font filmstrips and includes a full international character compliment, automatic fractionals, ordinals, and a very large set of alternate contextual characters and ligatures to allow flawless typesetting in dynamic OpenType format.
