Lipton Letter Design · Richard Lipton
A single-weight calligraphic display script by Richard Lipton, drawn from the informal hand of lettering artist Philip Grushkin and extended with small caps and stylistic alternates.
About
Lipton's background as a professional calligrapher is evident in Englewood's warm, spontaneous letterforms, which balance looseness with disciplined construction. The inclusion of small caps is unusual for a handwritten script and broadens its typesetting flexibility. It suits invitations, menus and other display contexts requiring an informal calligraphic register.
Classification
An expressive calligraphic display script inspired by the hand of Philip Grushkin, capturing the loose yet disciplined quality of informal calligraphy. Classified as script due to its handwritten, flowing letterforms designed primarily for display use.
