The Bluemlein Script Collection is an intriguing reminder of the heady days of American hand lettering and calligraphy. From the early 1930s through World War II, there were about 200 professional hand letterers working in New York City alone. Charles Bluemlein created his scripts by collecting different signatures and then building complete alphabets from them. Alejandro Paul and Sudtipos bring the Bluemlein scripts back to life in a set of expanded digital versions. Extreme care has been taken to render the original scripts authentically.
