About
Becker Classic takes its visual cues from the lettered work of 1930s signwriter Alf Becker, translating his hand-painted Roman forms into a digital typeface. Dave Smith's draughtsmanship gives the strokes a careful balance that sets it apart from generic revival efforts. It suits headline and display use where a period commercial-lettering flavour is required.
Classification
A display Roman typeface in the tradition of mid-twentieth-century sign painting lettering, drawn from the hand-lettered style of 1930s signwriter Alf Becker. Its carefully balanced strokes place it firmly in the display/lettering category rather than a conventional text serif.
