The Charles Bluemlein Script Collection is an appealing suggestion of the heady days of hand lettering and calligraphy in the United States. From the early 1930s through The second world war, there were about 200 professional hand letterers working in New york city City alone. This profession saw its demise with the introduction of picture lettering, and after digital typography, ended up being virtually extinct. The odd method in which the Bluemlein scripts were assembled and created - by collecting different signatures and then developing total alphabets from them - is a remarkable calligraphic adventure. Due to the fact that the set of built styles looked absolutely 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 expanded digital variations, reflecting the demands these days's designer. Severe care has actually been required to render the original scripts authentically, keeping the fictitious names initially appointed to them by Bluemlein.
