Mr Rafkin Pro contains 1 design. p > The Charles Bluemlein Script Collection is an interesting pointer 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 expert hand letterers operating in New york city City alone. This profession saw its death with the arrival of image lettering, and after digital typography, became virtually extinct. The odd way in which the Bluemlein scripts were assembled and developed - by gathering different signatures and after that building 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 broadened digital versions, showing the demands these days's designer. Extreme care has actually been taken to render the original scripts authentically, keeping the fictitious names originally assigned to them by Bluemlein.
