Download and read online ebook Ready-to-use Victorian Alphabets write by Dan X. Solo. This book was released on 1986-01-01. Ready-to-use Victorian Alphabets available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Combining strength with intricacy, the typography of the 19th century is at once functional and fanciful, as displayed in this wonderful sampling of Victorian styles: the exaggerated thicks-and-thins of Express and Barnum typefaces; the unusually detailed serifs of Lafayette characters; the extravagant flourishes of Renaissant, Houghton, and Campanile; the swashes and eye-catching dot motifs of Hogarth and Gutenberg. Typographer and printing historian Dan X. Solo offers this outstanding collection of appealing, highly usable Victorian typefaces that will add a distinctive, old-fashioned flair to design solutions. These attractive letterforms will show their whimsical old-time personality in articles and newsletters, posters and packaging, display ads, signage, and innumerable other graphic projects. And every style is royalty-free. Presented in 24-, 36-, and 48-point fonts, each of the eight exquisite faces includes complete uppercase alphabet, numerals, and punctuations; all but one are designed with lowercase characters, too. Crisp printing on one side only on glossy, repro-quality stock means you can cut and combine characters directly from the book.
