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.

Alejandro Paul and Sudtipos bring the Bluemlein scripts
back to life in a set of expanded digital versions,
reflecting the demands of today’s designer. Extreme care
has been taken to render the original scripts
authentically, keeping the fictitious names originally
assigned to them by Bluemlein.
