The Charles Bluemlein Script Collection is an interesting tip of the heady days of hand lettering and calligraphy in the United States. From the early 1930s through World War II, there had to do with 200 professional hand letterers operating in New york city City alone. This profession saw its death with the introduction of image lettering, and after digital typography, became essentially extinct. The odd method in which the Bluemlein scripts were assembled and developed - by gathering different signatures and then constructing complete alphabets from them - is a fascinating calligraphic adventure. Because the set of built designs looked nothing like the original signatures, fictitious names were appointed 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, reflecting the demands these days's designer. Extreme care has been required to render the initial scripts authentically, keeping the fictitious names initially designated to them by Bluemlein.
