I’m going to use Brush Script MT as my font, because I see it used often in designs of this style. But we’ll be getting into some more in-depth manipulation of points and curves.
If you’ve followed along with my previous Inkscape tutorials, I think you’re ready. By building your own, they're yours to use for any purpose: personal, commercial, logos, you name it!īear in mind, this is edging into slightly more advanced Inkscape territory. And while yes, you can find fonts with sets of these kinds of swashes, most of those are only free for personal use.
Others refer to it as a “pilsner” swash, because of their use in beer logos.Įither way, they’re totes cool-looking. Some refer to this as a “baseball” swash, because it’s often used for baseball team logos. In this tutorial, we’ll be creating the exact “Swashes” design that you see up above.
So today I’m going to show you how to use Inkscape to make and add decorative swashes to ANY font. Or if they do, they might not be exactly what you want. Adding swashes and flourishes to the beginning and end of words can really up their level of fanciness! But not every font comes with swashes built in.
