    • New Bohemia Signs

    Bob Dewhurst of Sign Language, hand-painted example of signpainters’ “drop casual”. Handwritten on back: “‘Drop Casual’ because of how you end the horizontals by twisting the brush off downwards… all the guys at New Bohemia Signs (@nbsigns) basically use this same one.” #SignPainting #Lettering #Alphabet

    ⁠“The square shape with narrow curved angles is a typical architectural expression of our times, much as the round arch was of the Roman period, producing the inscriptional characters, or the ogive arch of the Gothic style, which in its turn produced medieval types.”⁠

    Jacinto J. Quirarte, poster for El Bazaar Sábado in Colonial San Angel, Mexico, ca. 1965.

    Quirarte is best known as an art historian of Mexican and Chicano culture. Born in Arizona in 1931, Quirarte soon moved to San Francisco where he studied art and lettering. He lived in Mexico in the 1950s and ’60s which is likely when this poster was made.

    This box of 600+ specimen cards holds a complete snapshot of the last metal type foundries in Germany.

    Produced 1958–1971, the Schriftenkartei (Typeface Index) represents the final effort to catalog all the country’s typefaces in production at the time. The cards are useful for researchers and designers as they share a common format and show complete glyph sets. Thanks to Michael Wörgötter, a set of these cards is now in our collection, and his high-res scans are online. https://letterformarchive.org/news/schriftenkartei-german-font-index/
