Beanwood Script specimen from ParaType

A single-weight calligraphic script drawn from the hand of calligrapher and illustrator Dave Wood, digitised by TypeAssociates.

About

The letterforms show freely drawn strokes with irregular weight variation and sharp angles that suggest a broad-nib pen or brush held at a steep rake. Connections between letters are loose and energetic, giving the face a spontaneous rather than formal character. Published by TypeAssociates and sold through ParaType.

Classification

The specimen shows an energetic, informal calligraphic script with irregular stroke widths, sharp pen angles and slightly jagged edges consistent with real brush or broad-nib calligraphy. The letterforms are connected and freely drawn rather than formal copperplate.
