Slanted brush lettering with heavy dry strokes and a rough edge
Brush Script
Brush Script is slanted brush lettering in which the strokes carry a dry edge, the weight varies from thick to thin within each letter and the ends finish rough, so a word reads as paint laid on with a chisel brush.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Brush Script.
The capital B opens with a heavy downstroke that thins through the turn, the r keeps a short dry arm, the u holds a thick stem and the s reverses with a rough exit. The variation is the point: the face is drawn to imitate a loaded brush, so the edges break up along the stroke and the terminals are torn rather than cut. Because the letterforms are wide and heavy, a two-word phrase fills a panel at 60 pt, and the dry texture reads at a metre where a clean script would look printed. Below 24 pt the roughness turns into noise. The black ground, the white ink, the gold brush stroke, the splatter and the three caption lines are presentation; the script is the two words.

Print for a workwear or denim jacket
The dry brush edge suits a screen print on denim, and the heavy strokes read at 70 mm across a back panel where a clean script would look pasted on.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Screen a 300 mm back print: set the word at 70 mm through a 160-thread mesh, keep the dry marks inside the print area, and stay 45 mm below the collar seam so the print clears the yoke.
Pre-production check
A rough edge on a coarse mesh fills in and turns solid; check a pull on the actual denim and print at a heavier weight rather than adding texture.
Cover for a design or art feature
The brush weight gives a feature cover a handmade register, and the dry strokes hold at 80 pt where a fine script would disappear into the paper.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the title at 80 pt across the middle, set the standfirst in an 11 pt sans beneath, and keep 18 mm of margin so the rough terminals stay inside the trim on both sides.
Pre-production check
Dry texture printed on coated stock looks digital; check the proof and specify an uncoated sheet so the edge reads as brush.
Sign for a coffee bar or bakery
The heavy brush stroke reads at 12 cm on a painted board, and the rough edge gives a small shop a hand-painted fascia rather than a vinyl one.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 700 by 400 mm board: set the name at 12 cm across the upper half, set the hours in a 4 cm sans below, and leave 9 cm of border so the rough terminals do not meet the frame.
Pre-production check
A rough edge painted by hand on top of a print looks doubled; check one letter at full size and decide between the print and the paint before the run.
