Miss Rooster (formally Mister Rooster) was created using my graphics tablet in illustrator. It’s a proper cursive script font, so it looks like real handwriting.
Miss Rooster doesn’t have the complexity of a real hand drawn pen and ink but retains the hand-drawn calligraphy look and feel. It has much simpler paths so should be super quick and easy to work with.
It looks a bit quirky as the letters are playing along the baseline. Some characters are just plain ignoring it all together. Capital letters don’t line up as you would expect, some are taller, some are fatter. I think that just adds to its appeal.
The uppercase letters look good just by themselves. I like to use all caps combined with sentence case to get that real quirky, playful feeling.
Font usage
Despite my dark mockups, the font has a playful mood to it, which is perfect for projects that require the personal handmade look like wedding invites, posters and packaging but it will look fine with lots of different design styles.
The font has a ton of ligatures to make the letters join correctly plus a few initial and terminal forms. Using OpenType features in your design application of choice you can turn them on and off to suit your needs.
