At one time it was required that all (UK) commercial vehicles should display the operators name, unladen
weight and contact details, in small lettering, low down on the nearside. Generally known as legal
writing, the lettering was usually condensed, to fit on a mudguard or cramped quarter panel, and quick
to write, to keep down expenses.
My first efforts were rather stiff 'matchstick' letterforms but later developed a bit of 'swing'. Much later I
needed something lively and casual for children's names on a glass-painting project, and with further
modifications and some refinements in the style of the great Cecil Wade, this semi-script was developed.
