Week 6, Specimen 3
Analyze: This type specimen is an example of a script typeface. All of the letters are connected to each other except the "a". It is possible that this was originally handwritten because all of the "e"s are different. The "h" and "t" both have counters in their main strokes. The entire word is angled slightly to the right. The "P" has a unique swash that crosses through its counter and connects to the adjacent "e".
Classify: Script, Handwritten
Define: I think this type communicates playfulness and happiness.
Comment: I found this type example on a building that housed condos or apartments. I am not sure if it fits the housing inside, but I really enjoy it because it looks so light-hearted and different from other things I have found on Peachtree Road.
