A Bicycle; this design caught my eye pretty quickly. Not only the handwritten script that the typeface is in but the font is part of the object, the font is the object. I was kind of glad not to find the piece with it saying bicycle. I feel having a random name, Megan Elton, as the type in this piece gives it character and uniqueness.
While looking for a design to use I was trying to find two things; a handwritten flow/ script that was organic in nature but bold. Having a vintage look defiantly helped my choice. The second element I was looking for was something that was not like any other piece on google. so that ruled out anything boring! The bold line makes it easy to read while the handwritten script gives it a nice flow also helping to be legible.
It turns out there is a website, ADOBE, for this font specifically. I was really surprised when I clicked the image to go to the website. Founded by a fellow named Juri Zaech in 2010. HE is a Swiss Art Director, currently living and working in Paris, France. Looking at all the other names and words he has used this font with; not all of the designs are as compositionally great as this one. Some of them the letters are not completely connected; however they are easily readable and unique.
I think the simplicity and vintage looking is was drawn me to this design even without the object of the bicycle; the typeface is a cursive handwritten look with a little bit of structure and boldness of the capital letters and a sweet gentle flow into the rest of the letters.
