Type Specimen - Week 7

"MRS" (1)

ANALYZE:

This is a san serif display typeface that that has a consistent stroke weight. The shoulder on the "R" and the "S" is rounded and the letters are all taller than they are wide, giving them the feeling of a vertical lift. All of the letters are uppercase, and sit on the baseline. 

CLASSIFY:

Display

Upper Case

San Serif

DEFINE:

The letters look big and regal, are easily legible and work very well together. The height of the letters vs the script and girly ones in the 2nd Mrs, seem to add extra importance to this one. 

COMMENT:

I like this typeface in this card, because it looks masculine making you at first think it says "MR". It makes you look twice while still being no nonsense.
