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.
