Known as 'The Teacher', Vernon was a precious specialist in sleight-of-hand and card magic. These typefaces are based on the penmanship in his note pads from the 1920s, which feature almost no lowercase letters. DaiVernon Direct is based upon what seems his hastier design, while DaiVernon Misdirect is based on his neater hand.
Numerous OpenType benefit glyphs, contextual alternates and discretionary ligatures help to produce the feel of his handwriting.
Thanks go to Michael Albright, David Ben, and Gene Matsuura for assisting to offer access to Vernon's note pads.
