A closer look at one of our restored Gothic fonts.
Originally found in historic printed specimens, each letter has been carefully scanned, cleaned and rebuilt to preserve the character and imperfections of the original printing.
A small piece of the past, made usable again.

Some recent tiny lettering and gold leaf

Refreshing another sign writers work is a fun but admittedly interesting project…
Yes, the sign writer that painted this originally probably only used 2 chalk lines.
Yes it was probably improvised as they painted, no markings at all
But in my opinion, there are some personal choices in the lettering I would not make. (*technically* a few errors, but as I mention, sign writers choice)
But actually I think this is part of the beauty of traditional sign writing. A decision made by one is not necessarily the same made by another.
And that’s what makes it unique, special, and better (in my opinion) than vinyl.
(In fact absolutely better than vinyl! 😂)
Anyway enjoy this refresher of these lovely landy panels I painted recently! It was fun trying to make the paint look old and worn in ways I’ve not done before 😁

Which font is your favourite?
1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?
These fonts began as antique type specimens found in old books and catalogues in our collection. After scanning and restoring the letterforms, they are turned into working typefaces so these historic designs can live on in modern projects.
These and many more are available at Century Library.

Many lettering designers get stuck once the toughest step is done: digitising their letterforms.
The curves are correct, every anchor point is in place, yet the letter still feels a bit flat.
Here are five ways to add detail to a single letter without losing what already works 💙
