解释
Glenmoy, the 1932 Stephenson Blake typeface, is a prime example of what display typography was in the per-WWII American ad art. It graced the pages of many magazines, sold many products and services, then simply died out when the typographic trends shifted towards the more personalized, stylized and handwritten kinds of calligraphy.The current trend in typography, the first in this new millenium, is the sort of revivalism that brings all distinctive display typography of the 20th century, without chronological discrimination, back in the name of retro. And who are we to deny the masses what they want?Mousse Scripts doesn't merely bring Glenmoy back from the ashes of the 20th century. It expands its limited metal character set to almost twice what it was and takes advantage of the latest type technologies to make Mousse Script a striking font functionally and visually.A simple attractive display font on the surface, Mousse Script is quite unique in that it is bold upright calligraphy, which is something rarely found these days. This makes it perfect for packaging work, especially for cosmetics and high-end feminine products.
