Week 4, Specimen 3


Analyze: The word "Peachtree" in white in the foreground is an example of script, hand-written type. The "P" is unique because the main stroke is continuous and doubles around to create a second counter. The crossbar of the "t" extends from the preceding "h" and over the entire word "tree". The last two "e"s do not have counters. The entire specimen besides the "P" is angled to the right, like you would expect of italics or cursive. 

Classify: Display, Script, Hand-written

Define: I think the type says the event is casual and carefree.

Comment: I like the juxtaposition of the script, hand-written type on placed on top of the all-caps, sans serif type behind it.
