Most typefaces that appear hand-drawn with a brush, pen, or rough tools

will convey the sense of intuition, especially if the characters are italic and

have the uneven, unrefined qualities of such tools. The character propor-

tions in such faces tend not to be uniform, creating a syncopated, unstudied

rhythm in setting that makes them feel undesigned—as though they were

laid down without planning. The gestural freedom within the strokes of

faces that appear hand-drawn—in which the terminals of characters are

extended, similar to those in scripts or swashes—further contributes to

the intuitive feeling of these faces. In this sense, italic serif faces often feel

intuitive, deriving their base forms from handwriting. Serif text faces with-

out particularly pronounced details or stroke modulation, as well as sans

serifs with abrupt joints, lighter overall weights, and some modulation—

but with very quick ductus—also feel intuitive and immediate. The more

refined the face, the less intuitive or immediate it feels. Bolder weight,

condensed, italic faces—especially sans-serif versions—convey a sense of

the visceral because of the rapid alternation of stroke and counter,

enhanced by the italic slant.

Immediate, instinctive, and visceral energy mark the visual qualities

associated with intuition—the indescribable “gut feeling” of invention.

Typography that embodies the intuitive is free and unstudied; color

that evokes this mood is light and energetic.
