The Lobster Font

18 May 2010 ~ 517 Views

A common problem that affect most script fonts, is that each letter must be draw in a way that connect with the next and previous letters. And that’s quite difficult.

By having 26 lowercase character, that gives you more than 600 possible combinations for each letter (and around 15600 for the whole alphabet). It’s next to impossible to make it always connect seamlessly without compromising the shape that each letter was originally intended to be.

That’s why trying to make script fonts works it’s like magic.
Font designers use all kind of tricks to make it work. But, in the end, the results always compromises the shape of the original letters to make the whole alphabet work together.

The Lobster Font is a bold condensed script and is a fully versatile font. You can download this font for free direct from http://www.impallari.com.
