MyPimp Regular

The concept of a bold connected script with a hand lettered feel has been on my bucket-list for decades. I envisaged a pretentious, ornate, swashy look, a variety of word-end embellishments, heaps of ligatures and underscores. It took a weekend workshop on Python Scripting at Type@Cooper in San Francisco to boost the smarts of Opentype to make it happen. Hand drawn on paper using pen strokes for reference, the design was the easy part. The real work was in the back-end and rigorous testing that followed. This is a display typeface intended for greeting cards, logos, signage and poster headings.
