Alf Becker beautified the pages of "Indications of the Times" publication month after month for decades, presenting appealing and unusual hand lettered alphabets as inspiration for other sign painters and reveal card writers.
From simple text faces to novelty ideas, Becker's talent as a master indication crafter was consistent in his work.
Show Card Casual JNL is one example of what is described as a "one stroke" alphabet (using a single brush stroke in each instructions to form the letter or number). Its casual look and spirited charm permit a message to be provided in a casual format that is pleasing to the eye.
The type design is offered in both routine and oblique versions.
Special thanks to Tod Swormstedt of ST Publications for providing the referral material.
