ITC True Grit specimen from ParaType

A single-style cursive display face drawn from Central European sign-painting traditions of the 1930s, extended to Cyrillic in 1997 by Vladimir Yefimov at ParaType.

About

Designed by Michael Stacey for ITC in 1995, the face relies entirely on cursive letterforms that carry the edgy, hand-lettered energy of show-card artists working in Central Europe during the 1930s. It was issued in one style only: Bold Italic. The Cyrillic extension was completed two years later by Vladimir Yefimov at ParaGraph, broadening its reach for Eastern European applications.

Classification

An edgy cursive display face rooted in Central European sign painting and show-card lettering of the 1930s, using entirely cursive forms with an informal, nervous character typical of casual scripts.
