Gloss Drop

Phospho · Roland Hörmann

scriptbrush script
Gloss Drop specimen from Phospho

A wild brush-lettered display face by Roland Hörmann, built around extreme thick/thin contrast and a deliberately erratic baseline that mimics the energy of real ink and brush work.

About

Letters sit at unpredictable angles with no regard for a conventional baseline, producing a hyperactive rhythm suited to music, fashion and magazine contexts. OpenType positional features handle the selection of initial, medial, final and isolated forms automatically, so connections between letters behave as they would in genuine handwriting. A suite of ligatures and two stylistic sets extend the expressive range further.

Classification

A hand-lettered brush script with extreme thick/thin contrast, erratic baseline placement and selective letter connections mimicking real handwriting. Its spontaneous, almost illegible quality places it firmly in the expressive brush lettering tradition.
