A broad nib pen script rooted in Cancellaresca calligraphy, distinguished by its monolinear strokes with a secondary line on thick strokes that creates a dense, woven texture across the word.
About
Brigada interprets the humanist cursive tradition through a contemporary lens, adding a curly inflection drawn from Cancellaresca calligraphy. The defining feature is a double-line treatment on thick strokes that produces a distinctive texture, enriched by deliberate letter connections. Intended for titles and short compositions, it has received recognition from TDC, Communication Arts and Tipos Latinos.
Classification
A humanist cursive script drawing directly from broad nib pen traditions and Cancellaresca calligraphy. The monolinear structure with a secondary line on thick strokes places it firmly in the calligraphic script category rather than a formal or casual brush script.
