A typeface loosely based around Robert Perine's logo for Fender, characterised by natural, fluid shapes. The aim was to construct each letterform with minimal 'brushstrokes' - further details are captured with smaller, flicks/strokes. Additionally, the texture is supposed to mimick inkblots when using a fountain pen, for example.
For this font I was inspired by elegant and decorative type. I looked at old English style and modern cursive fonts to inform my design. My font would be described as script, pixelated, and formal, using thick and thin strokes, ligatures, and fluid strokes to simulate handwriting.
This type face is based off of the word decorate and the adjective decorative. Within the development of this design I took inspiration from embellishment and a craft style of working which is how the cross stitch came to light. This type is lowercase, it is meant for smaller bodies text. It will work best in a 12 or 14pt body as if the type is too small it will be difficult to see the detail. Though CrossStitchNS is probably not suitable for headers it would be perfect for texts such as invitations. I hope you enjoy this font as much as I enjoyed making it. x
