One Tues­day every month, I’m going to round up a cou­ple (maybe a few) awe­some dis­play type­faces to show­case and give a lit­tle break­down on each one. If you have a sug­ges­tion you want me to take a look at, drop me a line. Let’s jump straight into some head­line goodness.

Mission Script Typeface Alphabet by James Edmondson - Casual Brush Script Font

First up this month is a gor­geous brush script inspired by the sig­nage of San Francisco. Mission Script by James Edmondson is a casu­al design with good flow.
