MyPimp Font

The concept of a bold connected script with a hand-lettered feel has been on my bucket-list for decades. I imagined a pretentious, ornate, swashy look, a variety of word-end embellishments, heaps of ligatures and underscores. It took a weekend workshop on Python Scripting at Type@Cooper in San Francisco to reinforce the smarts of Opentype to make it happen. Hand-drawn on paper using pen strokes for reference, the design was the easy part. The real work was in the back-end and the rigorous testing that followed. This is a display typeface intended for greeting cards, logos, signage and poster headings.
