FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Victoria Rushton After attending high school in Singapore, Victoria Rushton (New York City) studied at RISD (the Rhode Island School of Design) and graduated in 2013 with a degree in Illustration. In 2014 she joined Font Bureau and later Type Network as a staff designer, and lived in Boston. Under the guidance of Cyrus Highsmith at RISD, she created the text typeface Sylvia in 2012 for the poems of Sylvia Plath who committed suicide in 1963. In 2015, she designed the Font Bureau font Marcia, a didone with many quirks and curvy surprises. In 2016, she designed Embury Text. Victoria explains: Contrasting characteristics like soft round curves, sharp end strokes, exaggerated oval counters, punched in slab-like serifs, and swelling swashes play subtly off of each other, offering an unexpectedly immersive experience to the reader. In 2017, she designed the connected script typeface Gautreaux, which is inspired by a lettering style from Tommy Thompson's The Script Letter called "free style lettering." In 2021, Victoria, together with Type Network and Kerns&Cairns, designed the corporate typeface Peacock Sans for NBC. At Future Fonts in 2021, she released the Spencerian script typeface Kadabra, which was started by (her late partner) Dai Foldes, who in turn was inspired by the work of calligrapher Jean Larcher. Lovegrove (2021) is a display typeface designed by Dai Foldes and Victoria Rushton for their wedding invitations. It was inspired by the calligraphy of Raymond DaBoll and has been expanded into a variable font with a swash axis. Interview in 2015 by Type Thursday. Font Bureau link. Type Network link.
