Lefty Brush™ is the culmination of many hours (and months) of writing trying to capture the essence of a brush urban calligraphy from a lefty point of view, but at the same time, being easy to apply in more contexts and, long story sort, (hopefully) being more “usable” than just another display font. That is exactly why is loaded with ligatures, contextual and stylistic alternates (and more options to come), plus fancy symbols and scripts so it “feels” like real writing.
– The ultimate urban left-handed brush font –
As a left-handed lettering and calligraphy designer, I had to deal with frustration many times during my career. You have to face the fact that 98% of the calligraphy books or learning content (as well as writing tradition) has been made and taught for and to right-handers, which in a way, makes sense (we’re a minority after all), but it’s not cool and not fair for us (lefties).
This font was born as a result of that struggle and to try to reflect how our strokes might not look exactly as they are supposed to look, according to tradition, but they still rock!
