Yellowtail Police

Yellowtail by Brian J. Bonislawsky of Astigmatic is a free brush script with the snap and sweep of hand-painted sign lettering. Broad downstrokes narrow into quick, pointed joins, giving the letters a lively forward pull. The capitals are especially theatrical.

Its easygoing curves can give food packaging the warmth of a neighborhood cafe, yet the strong silhouette also fits music posters and event graphics. Connected strokes make names and phrases read as one continuous mark, useful for branding and merchandise. In a label or poster, the lettering can become part of an illustrated sign rather than sitting apart as text.
