The Charles Bluemlein Script Collection is an intriguing 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 working in New york city City alone. This occupation saw its death with the arrival of picture lettering, and after digital typography, ended up being practically extinct. The odd method which the Bluemlein scripts were put together and produced - by collecting different signatures and after that constructing total alphabets from them - is a remarkable calligraphic adventure. Since the set of constructed styles looked absolutely nothing like the original signatures, fictitious names were appointed to the new script typefaces. The typeface designs were then showcased in Higgins Ink catalogs.
Alejandro Paul and Sudtipos bring the Bluemlein scripts back to life in a set of expanded digital versions, reflecting the demands these days's designer. Severe care has actually been taken to render the original scripts authentically, keeping the fictitious names originally assigned to them by Bluemlein.
