## About Alex Brush

Alex Brush is a script typeface that imitates writing with a pointed brush: strokes swell on the way down and thin to a hairline on the way up, and the lowercase letters join along a steep rightward slant. The capitals begin with wide entry loops; the A in the specimen starts from a long stroke far to the left of the letter. Ascenders and descenders are short in relation to the lowercase body, which the official description gives as the reason for its legibility. The numerals share the slant, and several carry small flourishes. Alex Brush has one style, Regular 400, and no bold. Its 605 glyphs cover the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets, including letters for Turkish, Polish and Czech. Robert Leuschke is credited as the designer, and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Invitation names and headings**: Looped capitals followed by joined lowercase suit the names of hosts or a couple at the top of a card.
- **Signature-style wordmarks**: The brush stroke contrast makes a single name look signed, useful for personal brands and studios.
- **Greeting cards**: Short ascenders and descenders let two or three lines of script sit close together without the loops colliding.
- **Labels for handmade products**: A product name in Alex Brush gives jars, tags and boxes a hand-lettered line above plain details.

## Things to know

- **Capitals are for starting words**: In the specimen a row of capitals tangles together; each capital is drawn to lead into lowercase, so all-caps setting does not work.
- **One weight**: Alex Brush is Regular 400 only, with no bold or italic.
- **Latin and Vietnamese only**: There is no Cyrillic or Greek in the 605 glyphs.
