The Charles Bluemlein Script Collection is an intriguing pointer of the heady days of hand lettering and calligraphy in the United States. From the early 1930s through The second world war, there had to do with 200 professional hand letterers operating in New york city City alone. This occupation saw its death with the advent of photo lettering, and after digital typography, became essentially extinct. The odd method which the Bluemlein scripts were assembled and created - by gathering different signatures and then constructing total alphabets from them - is a remarkable calligraphic adventure. Since the set of built styles looked absolutely nothing like the initial signatures, fictitious names were assigned to the brand-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 broadened digital variations, reflecting the needs these days's designer. Extreme care has been required to render the initial scripts authentically, keeping the fictitious names originally assigned to them by Bluemlein.
