Kaufmann is the name of a brush script typeface drawn in 1936 by Max R. Kaufmann for the American Type Founders (ATF). The stroke weight is monotone. Uppercase characters are freely drawn, while lowercase is more regular in height and width, recalling cursive handwriting. Lowercase characters are close-fitting, affecting the look of a connecting script. The d is looped.
The fluid forms of both the uppercase and lowercases, combined with an even weight of stroke, have made Kaufmann popular in neon sign fabrication.
