Virtually
years in the making, Metroscript is an outgrowth of
a style of
letterform
that I've used in my design work literally dozens of
times, usually for
connecting words such as "and the", "from", etc.
This style has been
described
as a "baseball" or "sports" script—which is true—but
its applicablity
is
really much wider than that. Created in OpenType, Metroscript is chock full of features that will expand its usability such as; 6 different tail styles with variable lengths; letters that "know" when they're at the beginning or at the end of a word or following a certain other letter—and change accordingly; plus literally dozens of special characters, swashes, ligatures, accents and foreign characters all fitting together in a way that makes each word seem as if it was lettered by hand. TO VIEW or PURCHASE Metroscript now, click either of the Font Bros, MyFonts, Veer, FontShop or YouWorkForThem links below. |

posters are sold through Illogator, and
also
