With her third release on Type Network, Victoria Rushton returns to her first typographic love: script lettering. As she worked on what would eventually become Gautreaux, she wondered whether the usual niceties that tend to accompany connected script faces in the age of OpenType—tons of ligatures, tons of alternates—were really necessary. She decided to tone down the design. By drawing and redrawing lettershapes and carefully considering connections in every single combination, Rushton came up with a connecting script that only needs four alternates. Victoria Rushton, 2017.

Victoria was trained as a type designer at Font Bureau, where she spends her days lovingly kerning, plotting and snacking. She went to RISD and studied illustration because she loved to draw, but turns out the main thing she wanted to draw was letters, and that’s how she finds herself here, writing this little blurb, and she’s really glad you’re here too.
