An elegant, flowing sans, block or gothic face is often the choice for secondary text in a layout where a
flamboyant feature style is used for primary text. However, a well formed sans can also look good when used for headline text in more formal layouts. In these instances, outline or shade can help add a bit of authority or punch.
The Chesham Sans font has lowercase but, as a speed-style, I always paint it caps only. Every signwriter
has their own version, it's often as recognisable as a signature, and is probably the most useful tool they have. In gentle support of more glamorous alphabets, a neat sans face can be used every day on almost any job. |
