Type Specimen - Week 6

"BUTTERCUP"

ANALYZE:

This is a display typeface. All of the letters are lower case and look hand written in script, with every character connecting and carrying a consistent stroke weight. The crossbar of the "T"'s is shared between the two letters. The "P" has a rounded descender and a spur. All of the letters are very round and open, but the bowls of the "B" and "E" are very small in contrast to the "P". The open terminal of the "C" is finished with a serif.

CLASSIFY:
Display
Hand Written
Lower Case

DEFINE:
The hand written script typeface provides nice contrast to the other typeface in the card. The letters are not lined up and do not connect perfectly, but the style and color evoke the proper feelings for the card.

COMMENT:
I hate how the stroke of the script letterforms do not line up properly, I assume whomever made the card went in after getting it laid out and manipulated or changed the word somehow. I do like the color and the feel of the word.
