It shares many of the characteristics of itâs sibling, but is drawn entirely from scratch and has itâs own unique character. To some it may be reminiscent of various mid-century neon signage, and of sign writing, Speedball alphabets and even baseball scripts. The design of Dynascript also takes some cues from a historical typographic curiosity that began in Germany in the â20s and which lasted into the â60sâwhen Photo-Lettering gave it the name "Zip-Top". Basically it was believed to be the wave of the futureâthat by weighting an alphabet heavier in its top half, one could increase legibility and reading speed. The juryâs still out on whether or not thereâs any validity to this claim, but I think youâll agree that in the context of this design, the heavier weighting at the top of the letters helps to create some uniquely pleasing forms, and a script unlike any other. Typesetters across the planet will also be able to set copy in their language of choice.
