Thirsty Script
Yellow Design Studio · Ryan Martinson
A six-weight connected display script blending vintage American signage lettering with contemporary proportions, each weight paired with a shadow variant for a total of 12 styles.
About
Thirsty Script takes cues from mid-century signage scripts and filters them through a contemporary lens, resulting in rounded, friendly letterforms that sit comfortably between retro and modern. Six weights from Light to Black are each paired with a shadow variant, and the family includes old-style figures, stylistic alternates and ligatures. The alternates offer a more traditional flavour, while the base forms carry a looser, more informal energy.
Classification
A connected display script drawing on vintage American signage lettering traditions, blended with contemporary influences. The rounded, casual letterforms and multiple weights place it firmly in the retro-meets-modern script genre.
