Type Specimen - Week 2


"WOOF"

ANALYZE:
This is a display handwritten typeface that is set in cursive. All of the letters are lower case and there are ascenders and descenders on the "F". The shoulders and bowls are oval in shape and the second "O" is slightly smaller than the first, but both have the same line that runs through the counters. The apex of the "F" does not connect back to the stem of the letter. 

CLASSIFY:
Display
Lower Case
Cursive

DEFINE:
These letters have nice contrast to the rest of the ones on the card, but carry the most importance, signified but the red color. The cursive looks handwritten adding a nice personal touch to it as well. 

COMMENT:
I like the use of color and contrast this word has, but I wish the typeface were a little different. I would like to see swashes or something a little more fun used here.
