Hand type




Source: online type site

Type Classification: Hand Drawn , serif and san-serif , detailed script as well as heavy block type

What is it?: a very cheesy graphic that utilizes a variety of different typeface all drawn by hand , although i don't really appreciate the "idea" of the image i do like the variety in hand drawn type
Message: I think the message is enhanced because the type goes very well with the "aesthetic" of the piece , the nautical feel calls on early 19th and 20th century design and computers would not have been used to make it. 
How will this influence my work?: I am very interested in hand drawn work , especially as it relates to type , i appreciate the aesthetic of early 20th century sign painting as well as early labels , i like the variation in the type because it seems to have more of a "feel " to it. It will influence me by allowing me to see the degree to which type can change the desired feel of something.
