Better Times is a handmade brush font by Sam Parrett. Its bold strokes and alternate lettering suit energetic short messages, from product names to promotional headlines.
Visual character
The script has a free-flowing, painted appearance with irregular edges and lively changes in stroke direction. It works in both uppercase and lowercase compositions. Switch to the alternate set when repeated letters need a less uniform look, and leave space around the broad brush marks.
Best use cases
- Product packaging and expressive brand names.
- Posters, merchandise and promotional graphics.
- Handwritten quotations and social media headlines.
Font pairing ideas
Use a straightforward sans serif for small information, such as dates, descriptions and prices. Better Times can carry a large headline on its own; keep the supporting type quiet and give the painted lettering a clear background.
Font features and what is included
- Main and alternate brush fonts with uppercase and lowercase letters.
- A separate set of 20 hand-drawn swashes.
- TTF and OTF files and multilingual support are listed by the designer.
Try the available alternate characters in the words you need, and check the seller’s language list for the accents required by your project. Swashes are supplied as a separate font for use as underlines and accents.
