The Charles Bluemlein Script Collection is an intriguing reminder of the heady days of hand lettering and calligraphy in the United States. From the early 1930s through World War II, there were about 200 professional hand letterers working in New York City alone. This occupation saw its demise with the advent of photo lettering, and after digital typography, became virtually extinct. The odd way in which the Bluemlein scripts were assembled and created - by collecting different signatures and then building complete alphabets from them - is a fascinating calligraphic adventure. Because the set of constructed designs looked nothing like the original signatures, fictitious names were assigned to the new script typefaces. The typeface styles were then showcased in Higgins Ink catalogs.

A casual, lighthearted script created by talented Letraset designer Vince Whitlock. The capital letters function as initials for a lowercase that connects by overlapping the linking elements on the bottom right side of each letter to the next. In order to achieve this effect however the last character in each word will appear incomplete. To overcome this problem a special ‘ending’ element has been included in the font to ‘finish off’ each word set. It can be found in the special characters window of the Character Chooser and can be inserted in the text in the usual way.
