Characterized by quickness, lightness, and ease of
movement, Bird Script is a font which challenges
many aspects of type-design: every single stroke,
comes directly from the author's hand and tries to
reflect not only the tool used, but also his
feelings at the moment of writing.
Bird Script is a font filled up with the
energic gestures of what it's called gestural
calligraphy, a not very explored field in
typography, where hardly ever a letter comes the
same way two times: When manipulating the pen, the
letterer seeks for the beauty of the differences
and the grace of a confident execution.
Originally done with a flat speedball pen
nib n�5 and retouched with pencil for the bolder
elements, it turned into a very pleasant to the
eyes font which dances between the formal rules of
typography and the artistic look of calligraphy.
Bird Script Pro and Bird Script Light Pro
come with many ligatures, alternates and
ornaments. Into the standard ligatures we find
lots of pairs of two and three ligated letters so
when they are activated the font seems alive.
However if none of them are activated, the
font gives a really particular text pattern,
specially in smaller sizes.
Get Bird Script, add rhythm to your
work.
