estudio.calderon🔥NEWS🔥Some years ago, in our studio we got one of the #Photolettering manuals 📙 "One Line", it has been an important working tool in our creative processes. We have made designs based on the alphabets compiled in the book and we are glad 😎 to show you our first #lettering "Royal Rumble" inspired in "Davison Balmon" alphabet with some personal touches.

After decades in an abandoned state, a tech school bought it in 2019 and it was supposed to be restored by summer 2020. I guess something happened. I hope they plan to save the classic gaspipe letters. At least two are about to fall off.
Yesterday, Mark van Bronkhorst introduced me to this bizarre lettering manual from the 1890s(!). Full of grid-based ideas, some of them insane. There are several other editions published around the turn of the century. You can find crappy contemporary reprints but better to just browse a complete 1912 edition on the Internet Archive.
Preface:
“The formality of a preface may seem scarcely necessary for the supplementing of a system as simple and comprehensible as the one herewith presented.
We have but to divide any surface we may wish to letter into squares (or parallelograms as the case may be), in pencil lines; form the required letters, in ink or paint, and according to the style chosen; erase the pencil lines, and the lettering is complete.”

Work in progress. Obviously corrections to do... but I got the general idea what to do next. In Illustrator.
