Homage Script
GarageFonts · Steve Jackaman
A formal script typeface by Steve Jackaman, adapted from James Hellmuth's hand-lettered cover art for a 1980 photolettering specimen book published by Phil's Photo.
About
Homage Script draws directly from James Hellmuth's lettering on the cover of 'Homage to the Alphabet', a large-format photolettering catalogue produced by Phil's Photo in 1980. The design carries a graceful, flowing character with occasional eccentric touches that recall the expressive freedom of pre-digital hand lettering. Design assistance was provided by Alan Meeks. It is offered as a single font.
Classification
A flowing formal script drawn from hand-lettered photolettering traditions, with graceful and at times eccentric letterforms characteristic of mid-20th century commercial lettering styles.
