cover up done with NEO-TATS

One thing to keep in mind with Dafont, if you are using it to make a simple script stencil for a client always double and triple check the print out. Many of the designers who put out free fonts will make errors in the kerning or spacing of the letters to some will appear with a bigger space between them then they should. This is done because they put it out for free and want you to work a little if you are a pro using their stuff getting paid and using it on a billboard or something.

Its usually a simple re trace.
Or cut and paste and manually slide the photocopy of the letters together.
Or If you know how to adjust kerning in photoshop or illustrator you can fix it that way.

Basically you want a nice flow or rhythm between them without it looking "L ike Th is."

Yes what you say is very relevant. I also like a font called "Brock script", what I tend to do when let's say I'm doing an upward curving phrase for the chest. I'll first prep it using wordart in microsoft word. I then use the printout as a template retracing the entire thing and adding subtleties ,I usually add a little of that chicano style filigree to it aswell, without going too far.
