An individual cursive written with the pointed brush
The strange name of this font means nothing other than ”brush,“ but only the Dutch understand it. The typeface is spirited, amusing and flashy. I made the handwritten original of »DeBorstel Brush« quickly and without interruption with a pointed brush.
In the capitals, DeBorstel Brush appears to be almost too balanced for handwriting. In contrast, the lower case letters are intentionally very individual and uneven.
A bit more life is added to the typeface with ligatures activatedwhich are constructed with alternative letter forms — and as a result, a number of problematic letter-combinations are improved.
And if this typeface is still not lively enough for you, the additional alternative character forms a e g i j l n o s t u z are available with the Open Type-Function ”Discretional Ligatures“.
Alternative forms and ligatures can be switched on and off with the help of OpenType-Functions.
DeBorstel Brush is suitable for all European languages. It includes the symbols of the Unicode-groups ”Basic Latin“ and ”ISO 8859-1“ respectively ”Latin 1“ for Western Europe, ”Latin Extended-A,“ for Central and Eastern Europe incl. Turkish, and even Cyrillic and Greek, too.
