Typeface Design for Dash Fastest

Handwriting as a variable design space

Dash Fastest is the most extreme style within Dash, a connected script typeface system built around four writing speeds. Designed by Petra Dočekalová at Typotheque, it was grounded in over a year of research into Western handwriting education and the natural evolution of personal script. The system uses adjustable parameters to let users control writing speed, letter spacing, and weight, while language-sensitive logic automatically switches letterforms to match regional handwriting conventions.
