Week 4, Specimen 1
Analyze: The type above in the word "Peachtree" is hand drawn and all capitals. The "P", "C", and "T" rise above the other capital letters. The aperture of the "C" curves around the "H". The crossbar of the "T" is drawn over the adjacent "R". The "R" is interesting because the place where the shoulder and arm come together does not touch the main stroke as expected, creating an aperture rather than a counter.
Classify: Display, Hand-Drawn
Define: I think the type communicates playfulness and childishness because it appears to be drawn in finger paint.
Comment: I really like this type. I like how there was a leaf added to the "C" to make it look like a peach and the fact that it looks like it was drawn in finger paint. I think both of these things make it really fun.
