BN Squire
Brandon Nickerson · Brandon Nickerson
A bold script typeface modelled on the vintage slab serif Stymie Extra Bold Italic, adapted with extended connectors and swash alternates to read as a connected script.
About
BN Squire takes the heavy, blocky forms of Stymie Extra Bold Italic as its structural starting point and transforms them into a script-like face through elongated connectors between letters and a range of swash alternates. The result sits in an unusual space between slab serif and connected script, carrying significant visual weight. It is suited to display use where a bold, characterful hand-drawn energy is needed.
Classification
Script-style typeface derived from a slab serif model (Stymie Extra Bold Italic) via extended connectors and swash alternates rather than traditional cursive construction.
