Tashiko Suns

Tashiko Suns is an upright brush script with bouncing baselines and weighted downstrokes.

The letters connect through quick entry strokes, but the posture stays vertical — there is no italic lean. Within a word, the lowercase rises and falls in height as if the hand was speeding up between letters; the uppercase opens with confident swashes that loop back into the body of the form. The strokes carry the modulation of a fat marker pulled across paper, with terminals that flick rather than taper.

You can picture it on a hand-painted sign at the top of a steep market street, or at the head of a folded paper menu where the day's prices have been written in by hand.

The font is built with advanced OpenType functionality and guaranteed top-notch quality, containing stylistic and contextual alternates, ligatures and more automatic and manual features; all to give you full control and customizability. It has extensive lingual support, covering all Latin-based languages, from North Europa to South Africa, from America to South-East Asia. It contains all characters and symbols you'll ever need, including all punctuation and numbers.
