This is an old advertisement that was painted on the side of a building.
I really like the simplicity of the text on this ad. The only real embellishment to the font is the extended strokes of a few letters. It helps add interest to the text without being too much.
The font is a sans serif. It kind of looks like a condensed and stretched version of Gill Sans.

This is a photo I took of a casino sign in Iowa.
Casino is a san serif, it looks like Impact.
Catfish Bend is a script font. It looks similar to Brush Script with some modifications.
I really like the contrast between the flowing script of the top of the sign with the sturdy strong san serif of casino.

I found this piece in an Illustration and Design Workbook I rented from the library.
It was done by Laura Cedar. I was drawn to the script font especially in the ones to use words to make up an object like the heart and the tree.

This is a type treatment for a spread in GQ magazine.
The designer used Lil Wayne's tattoos as inspiration for the style shown.
I liked this example because of its use of hand lettering instead of just digital fonts.
