Mr Benedict Pro contains 1 design. p > 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 operating in New York City alone. This profession saw its demise with the advent of image lettering, and after digital typography, became virtually extinct. The odd way in which the Bluemlein scripts were put together and produced - by gathering various signatures and after that building complete alphabets from them - is an interesting calligraphic adventure. Since the set of constructed styles looked absolutely nothing like the original signatures, fictitious names were designated 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 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 originally assigned to them by Bluemlein.
