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 The second world war, there were about 200 expert hand letterers operating in New york city City alone. This profession saw its demise with the arrival of photo lettering, and after digital typography, became practically extinct. The odd method which the Bluemlein scripts were assembled and produced - by gathering different signatures and then building total alphabets from them - is an interesting calligraphic experience. Because the set of constructed designs looked absolutely nothing like the initial signatures, fictitious names were assigned 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, showing the demands these days's designer. Extreme care has actually been required to render the original scripts authentically, keeping the fictitious names initially designated to them by Bluemlein.
