Painting the letters on board or paper with a round brush, the artist created thinner and thicker strokes by exerting less or more pressure, varied letterforms according to context, interrupted the connected flow by lifting the brush. A faithful digitization must emulate all these aspects of brush lettering, and Hipster Script does it very well. Have a close look at the various letter combinations in the sample above, such as the recurring "-er", or letter pairs such as "ee" and "ll". These variations are selected automatically for specific combinations using OpenType's Contextual Alternates function. The result is a convincing imitation of hand-painted letters.
