Delaguerra is based on a lettering style originating in the California Arts & Crafts period commonly associated with ‘Mission Style’. It is still in common usage in signage at historical sites in California.

This version is a sort of idealized hybrid of several different variations on the style from samples we were sent by a customer who wanted to use the font in a set of invitations.

It features a basic character set on the lower case and then relief initial versions of the same characters for the upper case.
