A sample of a practice page of script lettering on a yellow legal pad. I'm still pretty new to formal pointed pen scripts, but figured I might as well dive in and try it.
Coast Manual of Lettering and Designs, Fred Knopf and J. M. Mahaffey, 1907. Note this quote from the Sign Museum website: "Fred Knopf and J. M. Mahaffey compiled a wonderful book of layouts, designs, and alphabets using some of their own material and a "who's-who" list of outstanding sign designers of the period. This book rivals the best of Atkinson, Strong and the artists showcased in the Henderson books. This book is possibly the most rare of the top ten group and could be the best of the bunch." I can attest to the above as I searched for this book for over two years with none coming up for sale. Discouragement caused me to search my online book haunts once every two weeks instead of each day like I had done previously. Then one evening, there it was at Amazon, newly listed as a used book for $150; a steal for such a treasure. I hope to share it's contents in the near future as it has far surpassed my expectations.
A souvenir from the Prague trip: about 50 small (17 × 14 cm) sheet music bi-fold leaflets from Czechoslovakia, 1935–1948.
Two of the larger fragments: Daily Mail, 1938. Nowadays its readers are enjoined to hate chess players, not to play chess.
I don't do lettering too often. In fact, I avoid it as much as possible. I thought I'd give it a whirl for an upcoming art show flyer but, I think the "i" and the "c" came out a bit on the retarded side, so I'll opt for a computer font.
Anyway, the upcoming show is called "Lovesick" (duh, right?) and it's at Alpha Cult in Long Beach next month. I'll give all you lovely people more info later.
