Kayto Script is the second collaboration of Erwin Indrawan as the calligrapher and Dexsar Harry Anugrah of Majestype as the typeface designer.
Today the resurgence of calligraphy has reached the summit, with social media as the vehicle, we are now familiar with many styles of calligraphy. One of the popular styles is brush lettering, especially the pointed brush calligraphy.
Kayto Script is an exploration in pointed brush calligraphy. Itís an interpretation of modern brush calligraphy that combines cursive writing with the East Asian calligraphy flair.
Kayto is made with a real brush and held perpendicular to the paper so the brush can twist and turn freely to follow the movement of the hand. This technique gives a natural gesture and energetic look to the strokes.
Kayto has a unique rhythm of brush pressure to generate the thick-and-thin strokes.. the beating heart of brush calligraphy. Instead of the mechanical thick-and-thin strokes like the regular calligraphy, Kayto is written with a lot of variety of pressure that is somewhat melodic but still conforms with the discipline.
The result is a script that feels personal and characterized with lively energy. And just like handwriting, every letter in Kayto script is crafted with many varieties of glyphs and ligatures to make an unlimited combination of personalized lettering.
Because of its natural letterforms, Kayto Script is best suited to complement anything that is earthy or has nature as the ground. Erwin, the calligrapher, has used Kayto in many of his watercolor illustrations. Other ideas are wedding names on invitations or place cards, a logo for any natural products, inspirational quotes, business cards and the list goes on.. but in the end, if you wish for something personal and truly one of a kind then Kayto script the one you want.
