Used usually for heading banners as you have to convert your text lines to SVG shapes so small sizes are ragged - Xara's truncation is too acute.

I just thought 'sun' was wrong from what I remembered from school
apparently there is no such thing as a definitive shakespeare text - so as I live with someone who is an expert on such things, I went by her guidance hence 'portfolio text' [aparently as oposed to any another of which there are many]
handrawn, my image was the Bodleian First Folio (https://firstfolio.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/ff/r3/1/1).Quote:

the script was just used as a point of reference; topical items would be added; things that were considered touchy for the current state of affairs would be left out; ad libbing would be done throughout
I am advised that the [accepted] written portfolio said sonne; what a print editor thought correct spelling is another matter ;)
