Synopsis
A comprehensive survey of custom lettering from the 1920s and 1930s. Edited by Rian Hughes, Custom Lettering of the ’20s and ’30s brings together over 6,000 examples of hand-drawn lettering from books, magazines, posters and advertising. Organised by decade and style, this 576-page collection captures the variety and invention of lettering in the interwar years. Art Deco geometry sits alongside brush scripts, decorative serifs and illustrated letterforms. Speed lines, drop shadows, stencils and patterned fills show the ingenuity with which artists gave words their own distinctive character. A foreword by Hughes and an introduction by Zavier Leslie Cabarga set the work in context, tracing the craft through signwriting, shop displays and cinema advertising. Rare original artwork by Jewett Bubar and Don Sturdivant offers a closer look at the artists behind the lettering. Rich in ideas for graphic designers, illustrators and typographers, this flexibound collection is a source of inspiration for anyone fascinated by vintage lettering and print culture.
