This hand-drawn brush lettering font was designed (painted) by designer Krisjanis Mezulis of RIT Creative in Latvia. The letterforms themselves are spontaneous and handsome, but I was really taken with the way RIT presents the typeface’s specimens—as an extension of emphatically worked strokes of paint on a canvas, or as exquisitely tactile lettering on a worn, buckram bound book. It’s some of the most attractive marketing for a typeface I can recall seeing.
