Astronomy - Ceres - English Roundhand
"Discovered in 1801, Ceres is the largest body in the Asteroid Belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and was the first object discovered in the Asteroid Belt. The only asteroid with enough gravity to make it round, Ceres was classified as a Dwarf Planet in 2006, giving it the distinction of being the only Dwarf Planet within the orbit of Neptune. Ceres has a diameter of about 587 miles, about the size of Texas. Clear images of Ceres were not available until the Dawn spacecraft began orbiting it in 2015.
Being a very short & simple name, I tried to add visual interest to this English Roundhand composition by choosing uncommon versions of the "r" & "s" letterforms and ligaturing the capital "C" in a distinctive way. I also wanted the flourishing to be fairly simple imply an orbital feel."
