Sterling Script Pro Font

Publisher: Canada Type

Sterling Script was at first indicated to a be digitization/reinterpretation of a copperplate script widely used throughout what efficiently became the last decade of metal type: Stephenson Blake's Youthline, from 1952. The years from 1945 to 1960 saw an increased demand for copperplate faces, due to post-war market optimism, as well as the banking and insurance markets expanding like never ever in the past, which activated the requirement for style aspects that express formal beauty and luxury.

The name Sterling Script is an idea of our hat to England, the Stephenson Blake foundry's country of origin. It is also a historic tip about copperplate scripts having actually been utilized generally for banking and bonds in the 19th century.

Originally we just desired to resurrect a beautiful metal type from the ashes of forgotten history. But after the main typeface was done we saw that the original s really needed an alternate. We made one. However we sympathized with the original s and didn't wish to see it dropped from usage completely, so we saved it by developing a set of ligatures that resolve the minor connection issue with the s at large sizes. Before the completion of the ligatures, a couple of different alternates were also drawn, and we were dealt with by the reality that the single typeface we set out to do was now a much larger set than we expected. While thinking of how to break up our unforeseen bundle of big characters, we drew a few more alternates and some swashes. This abundance "issue" reached a certain point where there was no recalling, so we just decided to go all the method with this font. We added numerous more alternates, swashes, ligatures, and 2 full sets of each start and ending lowercase letter. The result is over 750 characters of sheer elegance.

Sterling Script has numerous functions that set it above and beyond other copperplate scripts:

- It has 2 beginning and 2 ending alternates for each single lowercase character. The beginning and ending variations on the vowels are also available in accented form in the proper cells of the character map.

- Sterling Script is the supreme classy font style choice for luxury design. Really classy, however not too soft. Its strong and positive shapes convey a message that is genuine, reassuring and assuring.

- Among the ultimate purposes of broadening Sterling Script this extensively was to produce a script that discovers the happy medium in between official and informal without jeopardizing either characteristic, a script where the degree of rule can be determined, tweaked, cranked up or reduced depending upon the design's needs. Aside from beginnings and endings, there are multiple variations for the majority of the fundamental characters. This is an official script on steroids, where twirls and swashes can be set to come out unexpectedly from any location in the word, which is fantastic for reducing the intrinsic rigidity of words embeded in copperplate scripts and "humanizing" them whenever required. This is especially beneficial for wedding, postcard and invite style, where not every audience of the security product has something to do with banking or insurance coverage.

- With such a substantial character set, a designer can quickly set a word or a sentence in 10 or more different ways, and select the perfect one for the task at hand. This is especially helpful for work where information are of utmost significance, like logos, slogans, or sophisticated engravings that consist of one to 3 words. Let those swashes and twirls intertwine for maximum elegance.
