The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Backstroke

Here’s Backstroke, a laid-back script with a unique voice. Normal and upright italic script fonts line a well-trodden path; left-leaning fonts (or “rightalics” as they’re confusingly called), on the other hand, are a rarity. While fonts that lean the wrong way may be more challenging to fit into your layouts than boring old regular italics, you will be rewarded with their individuality. Backstroke’s restrained but intense voice will put your visual message on the right track. Give it a go?!
