LDN Kew Script specimen from London Type Foundry

A monolinear informal script by Pat and Paul Hickson, with looped letterforms and curly alternates drawn partly from early Art Deco forms.

About

LDN Kew Script takes its name from Kew Gardens, a nod to the organic, botanical quality Pat Hickson brought to her early sketches. The design is monolinear in stroke weight, with looped cursive letterforms and multiple alternates intended to add variety to typesetting. Currently available only in Thin, with heavier weights and potential floriated initials planned for future release.

Classification

A monolinear informal script with looped, cursive letterforms and gentle curves. Its handwritten, playful character places it firmly in the informal script category rather than formal calligraphic script traditions.
