’Dave Thomason’ hand-lettered personal wordmark – Dave Thomason, c1975

We believe that this wordmark was created by Dave Thomason after he left Typsettra in 1975. It is a personal interpretation of the English roundhand script that manages to be both light and lyrical with the overall movement coming from the letterforms themselves – not the flourishes.
