\n\"Dynascript<\/a>
\nWhat is Dynascript? It\u2019s is a completely original, never before seen, bold script font\u2014but 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 \u201820s and which lasted into the \u201860s\u2014when Photo-Lettering gave it the name “Zip-Top”. Basically it was believed to be the wave of the future\u2014that by weighting an alphabet heavier in its top half, one could increase legibility and reading speed. The jury\u2019s still out on whether or not there\u2019s any validity to this claim\u2014but you can decide for yourself!
