From the late nineteenth century and the golden age of American classical writing comes the design for Metairie, a high-quality script font from Jeremy Dooley. Inspired by pharmaceutical labels and elixirs of the 1800s, the typeface features expressive (sometimes exaggerated), sensuous forms--high-contrast figures with an emphasis on the bottom part of the script. While not in the traditional style of calligraphy, the typeface still much represents the elements of this colorful world. Metairie’s scrawled letterforms are ideal for headlines and short phrases, though any project can benefit from its fresh, yet vintage touch.
