The Charles Bluemlein Script Collection is an intriguing reminder of the heady days of hand lettering and calligraphy in the United States. From the early 1930s through World War II, there had to do with 200 expert hand letterers operating in New york city City alone. This occupation saw its demise with the arrival of photo lettering, and after digital typography, ended up being virtually extinct. The odd method which the Bluemlein scripts were assembled and produced - by gathering various signatures and after that building total alphabets from them - is an interesting calligraphic experience. Because the set of constructed designs looked absolutely nothing like the original signatures, fictitious names were appointed to the brand-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 expanded digital variations, reflecting the demands of today's designer. Extreme care has actually been taken to render the original scripts authentically, keeping the fictitious names initially appointed to them by Bluemlein.
