The Charles Bluemlein Script Collection is an interesting suggestion of the heady days of hand lettering and calligraphy in the United States. From the early 1930s through World War II, there were about 200 professional hand letterers operating in New york city City alone. This occupation saw its death with the introduction of image lettering, and after digital typography, ended up being virtually extinct. The odd method which the Bluemlein scripts were assembled and produced - by gathering different signatures and after that constructing total alphabets from them - is an interesting calligraphic adventure. Since the set of built designs looked nothing like the initial signatures, fictitious names were appointed to the new script typefaces. The typeface styles were then showcased in Higgins Ink catalogs.
Alejandro Paul and Sudtipos bring the Bluemlein scripts back to life in a set of broadened digital variations, showing the demands of today's designer. Severe care has been required to render the initial scripts authentically, keeping the fictitious names initially appointed to them by Bluemlein.
