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 it 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.
